Review of Back to the Future I
Review of Back to the Future III

If you thought Back to the Future got your mind wobbling about the space-time continuum that ain't nothing compared with what'll happen in Back to the Future 2.

If you'll remember, the Doc (Christopher Lloyd) left Marty(Michael J. Fox) and Jennifer (now Elisabeth Shue) about to head off to the lake in the beaut McFly four-wheel drive, only to come screaming back in a huge hurry.

It was all about the kids, he said, and they both needed to travel into the future to stop something terrible happening.

Well, as you would expect, it all goes awry and the terrible future becomes even worse when Marty tries to make himself rich and in fact ends up giving exorbitant amounts of money and power straight into the hands of his family's nemesis Biff Tannen (Thomas Wilson).

I don't want to spoil the plot - if you have seen the movie and can't remember all the ins and outs - but needless to say this is one helluva time-travel twister.

Not only does the crew hit the future - and I love the Jaws 19 joke - but they are forced to head back into 1955 to straighten out the mess they have got themselves into.

The scenes where Marty (post 2015 version) has to avoid Marty (1985 version) makes for some excellent comic moments.

Back to the Future 2 is a superb movie with so many twists and turns your brain will be inside-out and back-to-front before you know it. You'll still love the picture though!

The video transfer is so close to perfect I may as well say it is and the soundtrack - in 5.1 and DTS - is spot on.

Bring on No.3.
