Back to the Future is the best movie.
Back to the Future is an iconic science fiction movie filmed during the 80’s decade. It was realized into movie theatres in 1985 and since then it has been collecting fans all over the world, most of them from pop-culture. On its first edition the story starts in the year of 1985 and it characters travel through time helped by the DeLorean a time machine which was invented by the Dr. Emmet Brown. During its time in the past, Martiy McFly changes the past and risks its own future by not letting his parents meet so they would never get married and obviously he and his brother and sister won’t ever exist. Back to the Future is the best time traveling theme movie ever. (Dates and names can be consulted at: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088763/)
For the time it was made, Back to the Future, has amazing visual effects even when there are not too many of them shown in the movie. One of the most representative scenes of this movie is the final race in which the DeLorean has to reach a thunder to have enough power to travel back to the future. During the scene, the visual effects have lot to do with the impact and the tension that viewers can see in that last action sequence. With the help of some gasoline, fireworks and a good illumination department work, the clock scene is one of the most amazing and tension scenes in the movie because the viewers don’t actually know if the characters will be able to go back to their own time and to their normal daily lives.
The story is the most important part of a movie. In the case of Back to the Future it is a science fiction story in which a young guy meets an old sort of mad scientific who has invented a very powerful time machine and since that encounter a bunch of adventures begins. The movie has been catalogued like a fantastic, adventure, comedy and science fiction film but it is still an Every One movie or a Parental Guidance movie. There is no much violence and not so many bad words in it; actually I think there are any bad words in it. Even when there are not so many action scenes I like the fact that it remains being exciting. Back to the Future is an example of how there can be exiting movies without being aggressive to the audience.
To make a successful movie it is not only necessary to have a great story but it should have a great cast too, if it is not like that even the story would not be so great. Back to the Future has a great cast. Marti McFly, the protagonist, was played by the young and mostly unknown (for that time) actor Michael J. Fox. It was not only a great performance what shoot Michael to stardom but it was also the great charisma and humility he and its character had. His participation on Back to the Future took Michael to be nominated for a Golden Globe award for the best actor on a comedy. Christopher Lloyd played Dr.’s Emmet role. Dr. Emmet is the inventor of the DeLorean and will become the best friend and guide to Marti McFly. Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox were the perfect couple of actors to give life to a dynamic, funny and matchless friend’s couple that will never be forgotten by the audience.
Back to the Future is one of the best and timeless time traveling theme movies ever. It has been one of the most famous movies of the late 1980’s and currently it has a great amount of fans all over the world. It not only counts with a great cast, but also has amazing visual effects and a very good script. It is a reflection of how the imagination of a writer can take the audience to a parallel world, in this case a past or future world. The cast and the story make this movie one of the favorite movies of any kind of audiences because it is not so violent and the story keeps timeless. Even when currently there are more futuristic movies with better visual effects Back to the Future will always be remembered as a unique movie for the rest of the cinematographic history and in the fans hearts.
