DVD Reviews of Back to the Future Part II
DVD Review: Fun movie, but like "TimeCop" there are paradox's run amok here...
Summary: 3 Stars
First off, let me say I don't hate this film, but compared to the "Original" & Part "III", this one fails, not because its bad, but because you really have to suspend belief big time here, like most SCI-FI fans I have always liked anything that deals with time travel, so many ideas to play with, but in reality time travel would be quite dangerous, & this film makes that clear in more ways than one, but is poorly executed & here's why....
For starters this one picks up where Part "I" left off with Doc carrying Marty & Jennifer into the future to 2015 to save their future son from being involved in a robbery that will get him life in prison, this would of course be inpulsive to stop this, but from a realistic standpoint Marty & Jennifer's removal from 1985 would have altered the future of 2015 where they would not exist because of their removal.
Secondly, let's ignore that logic for a moment, Marty buying a sports almanac in 2015 would be inpulsive for anyone, I mean hey, why not place bets in the past, right, well old Biff does this very thing by stealing the almanac & the DeLorean & goes back to 1955 & gives the almanac to his younger self thus changing everything from that point foward, when he returns to 2015, he is dying, again, his actions would have altered Doc & Marty's Twin Pine mall meeting in the first film thus altering Marty's trip to 1955 & their trip to the future in 2015.
Now, let's ignore that logic for a moment, the hellish 1985 is done quite well & Marty & Doc's culture shock is fun, but it should have been done differently, with Doc returning from 2015 with the almanac & the 1985 Biff going back to 1955 with the almanac, & Marty & Doc chasing him back before he could give it to himself, this would have been more plausible, again, I don't hate this one, but when dealing time-travel, you have to at least make it believeable, a pre-destination paradox is really the only way to do anything dealing with time-travel, "Star Trek" always did this quite well, as does the "Terminator" films where Arnold & Reese's trip to the past actually set up their futures, & "Star Trek" was always careful about this, as was the first & third "Back to the Future" films where nothing is really altered seriously as in the case of the first "Back to the Future" where Marty interupts his parents meeting but does manage to get them together.
Another flaw in Part "II" is the future scenes, like "TimeCop" they got it wrong, which in essence sort of kills the magic a bit, unlike "Star Trek" or the "Alien" films where the future is set hundreds of years ahead, predicting the near future is always never accurate, Kurt Russell's "Escape From New York" suffers from this as well as Kubrick's "2001" as does one of SCI-FI's best "Blade Runner" if your going to do the future, at least do it in a time where we are all gone.
I hate to nitpick, but no matter how enjoyable & fun "Back to the Future II" is, I feel they should have left the future alone, aside from this, this one is enjoyable, but Part "I" & "III" are more believeable.
Description of Back to the Future Part II
Getting back was only the beginning as the most spectacular time-travel adventure ever continues in Back to the Future Part II - the sequel that proves that lightning can strike twice! Picking up precisely where they left off, Marty and Doc (Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd) launch themselves to the year 2015 to fine-tune the future and inadvertently disrupt the space time continuum. Now, their only chance to fix the present is by going back to 1955 all over again before it is too late. From the Academy Award-winning filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis, Back to the Future Part II proves true excitement is timeless. Starring: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Thomas F. Wilson, Casey Siemaszko, Billy Zane, Elisabeth Shue, Elijah Wood Directed by: Robert ZemeckisBestsellers in DVD
