Back to the Future Trilogy 4K UHD (1985-1990)

[Ray Jackson]

Seems entirely possible that, with everything going on, this release will get pushed back to 2021.

...thoughts?

So are countless other key workers. My sister-in-law is a nurse who has tested positive for COVID-19. She also thinks the ClapForOurCarers thing is a load of bollocks...

Judge me all you want for making 'tasteless' jokes, but some people use humour as a manner of coping. Life's dark enough as it is.

Part III is too comedic. It kind of ruins the trilogy, in my opinion.

I might agree if you'd used a gif featuring any other celeb, but Marky Mark is a ****.

I sent one, and then after a while without a response, resent it. Still no response. I e-mailed the BTTF website and they just sent me a link to where you can buy the soundtracks and did not address why it's not more readily available physically.

Do the II and III scores have all the major themes and bits featured in I plus new stuff, or would I still be missing some good parts if I didn't get the I score?

They were on TV today and I got to see most of II and all of III. III can be pretty dark, too. All Marty/Clint does is get a spittoon on Mad Dog (and that's because MD was shooting at him in the first place) and MD was going to shoot him dead, but there was no bullet. Then he drug him through town and hung him.

It's the 35th anniversary of the first film, so I'd say they will do everything possible to make that deadline.

I just don't even bother wasting my breath with people who can't see the massive black hole in that criticism.

Anyway, for me, 2 just doesn't really add anything. It's a fun what if draft script exercise, that really shouldn't have turn out as good as it did. But still, they got away with it, somehow. Yet it can't escape it's own closed loop, where characters, world building ect, don't move an inch. Also the tone gets way to dark I think.



The only problem with 3 is the fact it's just underdeveloped. But all the elements of a true sequel to 1 are present and correct, just not fully fleshed out.

Like the ending is much more 1 in, you know, getting BACK to the future! The same tension is replicated for that great train sequence. But throughout it's build up to that finale, there is atchually real creative direction being employed in expansion on 1s legacy on.

They make usage of the technological limitations of the time period, and throw in the most dangerous incarnation of Biff into the mix, as it keeps building how out of place and vulnerable they are in the wild west setting.

And probably for this reason alone you can say 3 is better. But then there's Docs love story. Doc was a mad crazy scientist in 1, that's fine, 2 was pushing it. They needed to evolve his character, make him more human, with properly understood motivations.

But, as I said though, 3 was underdeveloped. And more the reasons i describe for loving it are the potential it demonstrates. Had it been given a few more months of development, added another 15/20 minutes to the run time. Then I'm pretty confident 3 could have rivalled 1.

i'm surprised by all the dissing of 3 here
back in the day all the talk was that everyone liked all 3 but most, by far, liked 3 more than 2 so i'm shocked to see this talk here about how it's a revelation to finally have someone like 3 better

I think it's developed just fine.

III was the sequel Zemeckis and Gale wanted to make.

II was the sequel Zemeckis and Gale had to make to get to III.

For the record I rank the trilogy I, III, II.

[Gold Ranger]

I remember growing up and 3 was disliked by everyone. It had it's moments, but was not everyone's go to.
2 was liked more.
1 was the. Middle liked.


As for me, 1 2 and 3 are equal.

[HeavyHitter]

I always felt II was far better III.

My issue with part II is that Elisabeth Shue doesn't look much like Claudia Wells. They don't even have the same hairstyle even though they are supposed to be playing the same character:

Not only that, but Marty is wearing a watch in Part II, for some reason.

I doubt I’ve ever experienced a single visit to blu-ray.com without seeing undeniable signs of severe mental illness, but I honestly don’t think ranking entries in a film series is one of them.
