Product Description
Product Description
Experience one of the most popular movie series of all time like never before with the Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy! Join Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) and a time traveling DeLorean for the adventure of a lifetime as they travel to the past, present and future, setting off a time-shattering chain reaction that disrupts the space time continuum! From filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, these timeless films feature all-new 25th Anniversary restorations for enhanced picture and sound plus hours of exciting bonus features.
Set Contains:
The bonus material included in the Back to the Future 25th-anniversary box is generous and varied, offering items that are exclusive to Blu-ray by way of Universal's interactive "U-Control" pop-up features, which viewers can access at any point while watching the trilogy. These features include "Setups & Payoffs," which explain the connections between various scenes throughout the three films (for example, in the opening credits of the first installment, the camera pans over a room filled with clocks, one of which has a miniature man dangling from its hands--a tableau revisited later); a trivia track; access to storyboards to watch while the finished scene is onscreen; and a bookmarking option. All make good use of at least some of the Blu-ray format's vast potential.
Elsewhere, the main attraction is likely to be Tales from the Future, a newly made, nearly three-hour documentary in six parts (three on the first disc, one on the second, and two on the third). Most of the principals from both behind the camera (director Robert Zemeckis, producer Bob Gale, exec producer Stephen Spielberg, etc.) and in front of it (actors Michael J. Fox--Parkinson's disease notwithstanding--Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, and others) are on hand to discuss the Back to the Future odyssey. There are some fascinating revelations throughout--not least the facts that Eric Stoltz, not Fox, was first cast in the Marty McFly role, only to be replaced after five weeks of filming (a few of Stoltz's scenes are shown here), and that the filmmakers rejected Crispin Glover's excessive demands for Back to the Future II, which led to his role as McFly's father being written out of the story. Other extras include "archival" making-of featurettes, which offer some of the same material as the newer documentary (and delivered by many of the same folks, only considerably younger), while a featurette on the second disc in which theoretical physicist Michio Kaku discusses the physics of time travel in the films is also quite entertaining.
Each disc also includes deleted scenes, audio commentary tracks with Gale and coproducer Neil Canton, a Q&A commentary track with Zemeckis and Gale, and a host of "behind-the-scenes" material explicating everything from makeup tests, outtakes, and storyboards to effects shots and the creation of the DeLorean "time machine." And that's not all: in addition to common ingredients like photo galleries and theatrical trailers, viewers wanting to go back to the past can dial up music videos by Huey Lewis and the News and ZZ Top from the first and third films, respectively. --Sam Graham

Definitely one of the most fun film series of the 1980s and early 90s, BTTF really shines. The writing is quite clever when compared to other big-budget tentpole flicks. The ties between the three movies are a lot of fun to notice. Although part 1 is definitely the best of the three, parts 2 and 3 do not drop off too much in quality. Michael J. Fox delivers a good performance, definitely in keeping with the 1980s "slacker antihero" archetype. Christopher Lloyd is also quite good as Doc Brown.
Part 2 is a lot of fun, naturally, because it gives us a future as envisioned in the late 1980s. But its second half, which returns to 1955, is perhaps even more clever than the first movie's portrayal, because of how it works to show the same scenes from different angles and points of view.
Part 3 is tonally quite different than the first two, and a good portion of its emotional investment hinges on Doc Brown's romance with Clara, played by Mary Steenburgen. Their on-screen chemistry is not exactly incendiary, and thus their segments drag a bit.
Serious sci-fi fanatics will find inconsistencies to nit-pick. I certainly noticed some. The portrayal of timeline changes and potential paradoxes are rather mind-boggling, and one gets the impression that the writers resolved to not try *too* hard to create a consistent methodology for the changes. The overall moral to the story is a bit cliche (don't succumb to peer pressure), whereas a deeper ethical investigation of time travel (seems pretty nasty to relegate Biff and his progeny to second-class citizen status merely in order to boost your own family's fortunes) might have been more interesting. But you'll be having so much fun a long the way, that deeper questions such as these tend only to occur a bit later.
Any way you slice it, these movies are fun enough to keep the younger set intrigued, and smart enough to satisfy a more mature audience.
The Blu-Ray:
Let me get this out of the way - this packaging stinks. Definitely among the worst box set packaging I've seen. We get six discs packaged in a tri-fold cardboard digipak with no hubs - the discs are held in, on top of each other, by one of the most irritating pieces of plastic ever - you cannot lift these out, you must press and slide the discs in order to avoid bending them precariously against the hard plastic rim of the digipak. Unbelievably dumb. Add to that a totally superfluous cardboard case, which only repeats the box copy contained within, and doesn't even hold the innards secure when lifting. A complete and utter failure, on all counts. I wish companies wouldn't keep trying to reinvent the wheel with these sets. Just put some hubbed "pages" on a hinge, for crying out loud.
Anyway, the 1080p, 1.85:1 film transfers are nice, especially when considering the era in which these movies were filmed. Compared to films of a similar vintage (such as Star Trek 2-4, Goodfellas, and Batman), these transfers show a good amount of detail and not a terrible amount of noise reduction and edge enhancement (see: Predator). If grain was aggressively reduced on these films, it is not noticeable. They are a definite upgrade over DVD-quality material. The video will not blow you away when compared to a newly-minted transfer of a 2009 or 2010 film. But let's compare apples to apples - these are really good transfers of 80s material. The DTS-HD sound also does a good job, with decent separation of channels, clear dialogue, and some decent bass.
The extras are good, with commentaries, several new HD making-of and interview features, and plenty of legacy SD features from previous releases. I do wish we could have had Fox's retrospective interview condensed into one feature instead of split into a dozen snippets per disc. Also featured are the apparently obligatory (and utterly wasteful in my book) digital copies for those of you who wish to watch these movies on a 2-inch screen in the car. Yawn.
Conclusion:
Despite the overpoweringly dumb packaging, this set is a definite recommendation. It is a good set of family films (there is some mild swearing, but very little sex or violence) that will entertain both kids and adults. The a/v quality is more than acceptable for a high definition release of 1980s films. The extras are comprehensive and entertaining. The price point on Amazon is quite sound for a catalog release.
In short, if you like these movies at all, this is a very good buy.
Since I didn't review the first set, I'll just give my take on this set, since they're pretty much the same, obviously except for the digital copies and case.
Buy this set through the Amazon third party listings, as I got mine for under $27, after shipping costs.
Movie: Back the the Future: My all time favorite movie. It's classic and quotable. If you say anything nasty about this movie, then we can never be friends, 6/5. Back to the Future Part II: Big letdown, lazy screenwriting, it just recycles a good chunk of the first movie. My least favorite in the trilogy, 2.5/5. Back to the Future Part III: Not quite as good as the first movie, but leaps and bounds better than the second. Nice to see Doc Brown grow as a character, finally really pushing forward the main character status, as opposed to the sidekick-like status, just there to feed lines off of Marty, 4.5/5. Overall trilogy rating, 4.5/5.
Video: There is little to no DNR used here, or if it was used, then it was used very conservatively, because details remain intact, including some you might never have noticed on previous home video releases. Very sharp, but the only reason I'm taking half a point off is because of aliasing. For example, look at Marty's jacket during the school dance scene towards the end of the first movie, it's there. Kind of distracting. But still, very good looking picture. 4.5/5.
Audio: Crisp and clean. Dialogue is 100% audible and intelligible. The music (songs and score alike) is loud and dominates the sound stage. Nice use of 5.1 surround sound, even though these were originally stereo mixes, which is obvious, since they're so front heavy, though it would have been nice to include the original stereo mixes for comparison's and purists' (come on, don't be bashful) sake. However, it never feels truly immersive, like the Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or Pixar movies, but more of a faux-surround mix (Pro Logic II, anybody?), as in artificially created from the original stereo mixes, not natively 5.1. So, again, I must dock half a point. But still, very good sound. 4.5/5.
Extras: Nice to see all of the same special features ported over from the 2002 DVD, and the ride, along with new documentaries, if you want to learn what went into making all of these movies. No more digital copies, but for me, that's a plus. 4.5/5.
Overall: I would like to give Universal a 5/5 for this second pressing, since the packaging is simpler and hassle-free. But as I said in the first paragraph, this should have been the first pressing, because you know the old saying, "Do it right the first time", and I must dock half a point out of principle for those of us who wanted this type of frustration-free packaging the first time around. But if you didn't buy the first pressing, and are a huge BTTF fan, get this set, you won't regret it. 4.5/5.
Note: this review was written by me on Blu-ray.com, but since I cannot give this 4.5 stars on Amazon, I'll just round it up to a 5 out of 5.
