How cool is a refrigerator back in 1885?

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2010)

Other than The Lord of the Rings I can't think of another trilogy that tells a single story so well over multiple films. Every step of the time travel, whether backwards of forwards, is logically explained as life or death, and this jaunt to 1885 fits perfectly into the world of Doc Brown and his slacker apprentice. It was a great idea for the writers to include objects from various points in history so the characters, and the audience, can see the results of the antics the heroes get into immediately. Things like pictures of tombstones, newspapers, etc. allow the outcomes to be shown on screen without more exposition than is necessary. Hats off to Spielberg, Zemeckis and Gale for allowing the audience to join them on a 3 part adventure that will truly be timeless, and each generation will rediscover. I know this isn't too much about the 3rd film, but what is there to say at this point? It's a fitting ending to a deftly manicured tale of heroics in unlikely places and from unlikely sources. Rating 30/40
