This irresistible combination of dazzling effects and sly comedy propelled Michael J Fox to stardom and Robert Zemeckis to the front rank of Hollywood directors. And time has not robbed it of any of its vitality. Fox plays the young student who travels back in time to the 1950s and acts as matchmaker for his future parents, who are showing no signs of falling in love. It's beautifully played by the cast (honourable mentions to Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover), and makes the most of an ingenious script from Bob Gale and Zemeckis that finds time to poke fun at 50s icons and lifestyles between the bouts of time travelling. Zemeckis's direction is equally adroit and he never lets the effects swamp the film.

Simply a TIME honored classic
Where do you start when trying to review a film of this much class. Maybe by saying that if you havent seen this film, then where have you been for the last 2 decades! I defy anyone, of any age, to watch this film and not press the eject button without a smile on there face. (No matter how many times you?ve seen it!!!!) The film is almost twenty years old, but it still looks as fresh as it did back in 1985.
If you havent seen this film, then press the 'ADD' button straight away. If you have seen it still press the 'ADD' button straight away, you cant watch this movie too many times. -

Classic Sci-Fi Comedy
Extremely enjoyable family movie. It is a classic time travel story and this film is the best of the series. Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd are both fantastic and they get good support from Lea Thompson, James Tolkan and a hilarious Thomas F Wilson as Biff. This is charming fantasy fun with great time and effort gone into creating the different time periods. It's a fantastically engaging story.
What marks this above many other time-travel films is the superb script. The little touches throughout are superb and this truly is a film you can watch over again many times over and pick up new things you didn't notice before. -
