Timeless 1980's classic

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2017)

Back To The Future is a perfect example of a film that gets better the more I watch it. With time travel, great characters and fantastic comedy it is no wonder it is considered a classic. Michael J. Fox plays fish out of water Marty Mc Fly perfectly when he is taken back to the year 1955 through Doc Brown's unorthodox time machine. Despite some unusual situations the film is able to keep a whimsical charm that many Spielberg produced films from the era possessed. Not to mention great direction from Robert Zemeckis who simultaneously captures the spirit of the 1980's through the character of Marty McFly as well as perfectly replicating the feel of the 1950s in the setting. While it can not be ignored the plot holes that would be apparent in any film involving travel to the past the film is such an enjoyable experience that I did not question it. With universal appeal to both children and adults through its clever humor and originality this will definitely be a classic for a long time to come. I would urge anyone that loves film that has not seen Back To The Future to seek it out immediately.
