The Back to the Future Trilogy were the first movies I ever
purchased for myself. The thing is, for
the longest time I never knew there were two more movies. I remember when I bought the trilogy that I
was quite surprised to find this out. I
knew the original movie like the back of my hand, so I popped in the other
two. It took me a while to appreciate
the sheer genius of Part II. For a long
time, I thought it was the weakest of the trilogy. Nowadays, simply from a continuity standpoint
alone, I think Back to the Future: Part II is nothing short of brilliant.
Back to the Future: Part II is the continuing story of Marty
McFly and Doc Brown, who must now travel to the future AND the past to prevent
disaster within the space-time continuum.
This movie literally picks up right where the original left off. Marty and Jennifer travel with Doc Brown to
the year 2015 to fix whatever problems their kids have started. The only thing is….Biff sees the flying
car. It is funny sometimes how a
character you never thought mattered much ends up mattering the most. After fixing the problems his children have
caused in the future, Marty and Doc Brown must now travel back to 1955….again….to
fix the problems Biff has started. Okay,
now everybody remember how at the end of the first movie Marty watched himself
go back in time? Well, now THAT Marty
McFly is on stage playing the guitar while the ACTUAL Marty McFly is watching
him! Make sense? Good.
I have to say that this scene is wonderful to watch. The visual effects alone are worth the price
of admission. The end of the movie has
one of the best cliffhangers ever, so you cannot wait to see final chapter.
While Back to the Future: Part II is still not my favorite
of the bunch, I still enjoy it very much.
In a three-part story, the middle chapter is usually the part where bad
things end up happening to the characters, and this movie does so in such a
fantastic fashion. Back to the Future:
Part II is grand, epic storytelling at its finest.
