A Skewed Look at the Future

Rating: 7/10 (14 January 2008)

Thomas F Wilson becomes a more central character in this movie. That is because Biff is in a lot of the action. The film starts with Doc Brown transporting Marty & his girlfriend Jennifer to the future. Once there, Jennifer is drugged & out of the way for most of the time.
Doc wants Marty to rescue Marty's son from certain disaster. This film, shot at the same time as part 3, is actually more of a bridge from 1 to 3. It introduces a lot of the themes that would complete the saga. Biff is in the movie as old Biff & young Biff & young adult playboy Biff.
While Wilson does a good job playing Biff, he is portrayed as stupid in every time zone. No matter what Biff does, things don't turn out well for him. Overall, the use of flashbacks is clever and it can hold an audience, but because of all the plot devices introduced, the film is kind of like a rest stop between the 2 action films, parts 1 & 3.
