BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985)






Seventeen-year-old teenager Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is a bright young man despite becoming disinterested in the school system. Tagged a slacker by his principal Mr. Strickland (James Tolkan), Marty would rather hang out with eccentric-genius Doctor Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd), especially considering his father George (Crispin Glover) and mother Lorraine (Lea Thompson) are dysfunctional parents harassed by bullying 'friend' Biff Tannen (Thomas Wilson). Aranging to meet with Doc Brown in the middle of the night, Marty finds that the crazy scientist has built himself a time machine out of a DeLorean car, ripping off some Libyan terrorists' plutonium in the process in order to fuel the contraption. When Marty and the Doc are surprise-attacked by the Libyans, Marty escapes in the DeLorean, and inadvertently transports back to the year 1955! Arriving in a time that he had never lived in, Marty causes mayhem in his local town of Hill Valley, and even manages to halt the union of his future mother and father, therefore plunging his own existence into jeopardy. Enlisting the help of a much younger Doc Brown, Marty must both reunite his parents and travel back...to the future.
Back To The Future was a product of the eighties, but it lives on, not because of the wacky visual inventiveness the film possessed in abundance, but because of the values it preaches and its director Robert Zemeckis' belief that the heart of any classic film lies within a brilliant story. As a film, it's jam-packed with ingredients guaranteed to make it an all-time teen classic. Firstly, the lead casting choice of Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly is an inspired one. Fox stepped into the production six weeks after filming began, because Zemeckis and executive producer Steven Spielberg found lead actor Eric Stoltz 'too intense' for the role. Despite being a twenty-four year old playing a seventeen-year-old, Fox is perfectly likeable as Marty; he has a cute grin and an intellectual sense of humour, and yet he doesn't have the brat-pack arrogance so common place amongst eighties' stars such as Tom Cruise, Kiefer Sutherland or Rob Lowe. Fox almost befriends the audience through the use of Marty - he makes you care both about his character and the on-screen predicaments, proving that Fox can easily handle the weight of a blockbuster studio picture on his shoulders. Fortunately, Fox is matched by Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown. Lloyd literally throws such an enormous amount of manic energy into the performance that the character of Doc Brown eclipsed that of any other of Lloyd's previous roles, including Reverend Jim in Taxi. Despite his maniacal persona, Doc Brown represents the only 'cool' adult of Back To The Future, since he exists on Marty's level as opposed to the parental level. The generation gap between Marty and Doc has eroded, and is replaced only by a gap of knowledge and experience. Credit where credit is due, Thomas Wilson is such a frenetic force as bully Biff Tannen, and is such an annoying presence, that he almost flies off the scale and crash lands into memorable territory. The film's main enemy is the dimension of time itself, and so Biff acts as an amusing physical enemy, even if his role in the film is ultimately insignificant in the scale of things. Also, both Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover display fine talent for playing Marty's parents at two different ages, in particular Thompson, who transforms from a young, promiscuous wild-child into an old, bitter mother almost instantly.

BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II (1989)






Because the original Back To The Future contained a tacked-on To-Be-Continued epilogue that blatantly set-up a sequel, Back To The Future Part II was one of the most anticipated sequels between 1985 and 1989. The film, shot back-to-back with Back To The Future Part III, took four years to reach its anxious audience. Because Back To The Future established its origins in the past, it was evident that Back To The Future Part II would take Marty and Doc Brown into the future, and on that note it didn't disappoint. However, whilst the film was a futuristic novelty when it was released in 1989, it has fallen prey to its own age, and is now heavily dated.

The story tells of Doc Brown, travelling back from his future holiday to the year 2015 to warn Marty that his future marriage to sweetheart Jennifer (Elisabeth Shue) hits a barren patch when their future kids fall on the wrong side of the law. Taking Marty and Jennifer into the future via the DeLorean time-machine, Marty and Doc try and save events by altering the timeline for the better. However, the pair end up causing time-travel carnage when an old, 2015-version of Biff Tannen travels back to his 1955-self and gives him a sports almanac containing the winners of every sporting event. This therefore earns Biff millions in betting, and once again alters Marty's parents George and Lorraine's chances of meeting in 1955 because Biff has his eye on Lorraine.

The plot is convoluted, and doesn't stay in one time-zone quick enough for the audience to grab their barings, but Back To The Future Part II is still a very enjoyable sequel, even if it lacks the delicate wit and charm of the original. The problem with the film is that it ultimately breaks one of the rules it preaches in the first film, that a man's destiny should not be altered. Yet this rule seems to have been left buried in the year 1955, as even Doc seems committed to the idea of helping Marty's future children. Surely the crazy freaky-haired scientist could have thought of a more worthwhile cause to support with such a fantastic invention?

Because Back To The Future Part II is far more ambitious compared to the original, the film's audacious visual effects are prone to being exposed as inferior compared to the commonplace of today's CGI. Indeed, some of the visionary concepts the film prophesises, have been greatly superseded by the digital era heralded by such glorious inventions as the Internet. This isn't the film's fault, but it does strip its value down a few levels of worthiness. As opposed to being an outgoing futuristic prediction of the way the Western world was headed, Back To The Future Part II is now nothing more than another fictional world of an alternative future that we have mostly avoided. Granted, there are still a few years to go before 2015.

In the four years since the original Back To The Future, Michael J. Fox seems to have aged slightly, and he seems to have outgrown his seventeen-year-old teenage persona and instead moved into the young-hotshot-adult market, no doubt fuelled by films such as Bright Lights, Big City and Casualties Of War. Still, Fox has fun playing his own kids, especially as one of them is a girl! Christopher Lloyd is his usual dependable self, and Thomas Wilson does a fine job in playing the different versions of Biff Tannen, and there seems to be a consistent bullying streak in each one. Elisabeth Shue replaces the original casting choice of Claudia Wells as Marty's girlfriend Jennifer, and she is a deliberately annoying hanger-on to Marty and Doc's schemes, and Shue turns in a decent performance, making it hard to notice that she wasn't in the original.

As a middle segment, Back To The Future Part II sits comfortably among the other two, even if it lacks a suitable beginning or an ending, in terms of narrative plot cohesion as a film in its own right. It's a dated, wacky ride that many will enjoy, and it serves up Part III brilliantly, which is all that is required

BACK TO THE FUTURE PART III (1990)






The final part of the Back To The Future trilogy takes place in a leftfield setting, the wild west of 1885, and yet it still manages to finish off the series with an inspired mixture of comedy, science-fiction and closure. Shot back-to-back with Part II, the film garnered better critical reception compared to its immediate predecessor, but still left the original movie's reputation as the best Back To The Future chapter intact.

Because the pair's antics saw Doc Brown stranded in 1885, Marty, with the help of the 1955 version of Doc, launches himself back in time to rescue his scientist pal, and becomes stuck there when the DeLorean machine suffers a petroleum leak. To make matters worse, Marty has learned that Doc will be killed in less than a week's time, because he has angered local town cowboy bully Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen, ancestor of Biff Tannen. Also, Doc has found a love interest, in stargazing schoolteacher Clara Clayton (Mary Steenburgen).

After the two time-periods of 1955 and 1985 were flogged to death in the first two films of the series, its refreshing to have completely new locations for Back To The Future Part III. As a sort-of western, the film works remarkably well on its own terms, effectively balancing stereotypical movie westerns with a sense of revisionist realism, ensuring that the film looks the part of the old-west and yet still can be incorporated smoothly into the Back To The Future trilogy. Yes, it can be argued that the plot has strayed into silly territories, even more so than the first two, and yet because of the absurd antics that Marty and Doc immerse themselves in we fully believe that the timeline could be so heavily distorted purely because of their actions. It's hilarious that Marty feels forced into a showdown with "Mad Dog" purely because he pretends that his name is Clint Eastwood, and if he chickens out Eastwood's name will be dirt. This is the sort of inspired alternative comedy that makes the trilogy of Back To The Future a clear winner.
