Film review: Back to the Future (PG)

To launch our Film Club back in March we screened Back to the Future. Here are two reviews.
This 1985 classic film has all the ingredients to make it an success. Spielberg put his usual magic to make this a hit at the box office. Back to the future is a sci-fi adventure starring the 80s American star Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, a failing band member who has befriended a mad scientist called Emmerett Brown, who has made a time machine using Plutonium as a fuel. At night Emmerett wakes Marty to have a test at his time Machine. But the Plutonium was illegally bought by Libyan terrorists who shoot Emmerett! After a thrilling car chase, Marty McFly travels back to 1955 accidentally. To his horror, Marty finds that he can't get home! Even worse Marty meets his teenage 1950s Mum and she takes a fancy to him with hilarious consequences by Fox. A great film, I highly recommend with a fantastic 5 stars!

This amazing film is about a boy who meets up with a mad scientist and they build a car which can go back in time. When the boy goes back in time he has to make his parents love each other, while he's doing that the time car breaks down. Watch the film to see what happens. I think this was a very good movie so I gave it 5 stars.

We also have reviews of Back to the Future parts II and III:
Back to the Future II
This is a very good film directed by Robert Zemeckis. It is about a teenager,Marty McFly and a scientist who travel to the future on a quest to save Marties future from family as they get arrested for different reasons. An old bully, Biff, steals the time machine to go back in time to make his old self rich, from an almanac of every sports result from 1950 to 2000. This film was set in 2015 but was produced in 1989. I am voting this film a superb 5 out of 5!!!! Marcus Thornton, 7B

Back to the Future III
Sadly, this an cheesy film and it is a film in the shadow of its earlier films successes, still it involves Emmerett Browns love affair with a women he saved from a horrific death and Fox still has his hilarious take on everything. 2 stars, still a recommended film.
