Into the Future.

Rating: 6/10 (4 February 2016)

Back to the Future, Part 2 (1989): Dir: Robert Zemeckis / Cast: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Elisabeth Shue, Thomas F. Wilson, Lea Thompson: Innovative followup that seems strained due to the pathetic attempt to advertize the third film in the conclusion. This one begins where the first film left off with Marty McFly connecting with his girlfriend and Doc Brown flying in on his time machine car informing them that their future son is in trouble. They shoot ahead into the future through s sky traffic and this is where the film is at its best with gangs pursuing on hover boards, TVs that act as phones, and a sports book that comes into play when its rightful predictions land in the wrong hands. While the screenplay is creative the ending is flawed in its willingness to shove the third film at viewers as oppose to celebrate the second film. Michael J. Fox as Marty is seen on screen within several different version of himself whether future or past. Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown juggles time lines warning Marty not to interact with his future self. Elisabeth Shue is brought in to play Marty's girlfriend who marvels the future until Brown zonks her to sleep. Thomas F. Wilson is hilarious as villain Biff whose elder self encounters his younger self with advice that warps the future. Lea Thompson appears briefly as McFly's mother. Not as satisfying as the original but visually charged futuristic vision. Score: 6 / 10
