Plot

I: 
Seventeen-year-old Marty McFly is accidentally sent back in time from 1985 to 1955 in a time machine built from a DeLorean by eccentric scientist Emmett "Doc" Brown, when Marty is attacked by Libyans from whom Doc stole the plutonium that gives the flux capacitor the 1.21 gigawatts it needs to time-travel. Soon after his arrival in 1955, Marty's mother Lorraine falls in love with him, rather than with his father George McFly, threatening to cause a paradox that would result in Marty's nonexistence. Without plutonium to power the time machine, Marty must find the 1955 Doc Brown to help him reunite his parents and return to 1985. (source: wikipedia)

II: 
The series continues as Doc Brown travels with Marty and Jennifer to the year 2015 where he has discovered Marty's family is in ruins. Shortly after correcting the situation, Marty buys a sports almanac containing the outcomes of 50 years (1950–2000) worth of sporting events to make easy money. However, Doc talks him out of it and throws the almanac in the trash, where the 2015 Biff Tannen finds it. (source: wikipedia)

III:
After finding out that Doc Brown is trapped in 1885, Marty sets out to find the 1955 Doc to help him fix the DeLorean (which has been waiting for him in a mineshaft for 70 years) and restore it to working order. Learning that Doc gets shot in 1885 by Biff's great-grandfather, Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen, Marty travels back in time to save Doc (who has become a blacksmith) and bring him back to the future.

FRANCHISE REVIEW

 

Review

This is one of the first family movie franchises ever, and it's done amazingly well. It's funny, exciting and just all around well-made movie series.

For that time, it has good special effects, chemistry between charecters is flawless, envirorment of all four time periods we visit is realy good ( just not verry accurate when it cames to the year 2015).

To sum it up, a fun, well-made film franchise that lives on and has a big cult following even after 25 years of the release of the last part.

My toughts

I don't know how and I don't know why, but I watched the trilogy just few days ago for the very first time and I was very impressed. 

After you finnish watching you feel happy and kind of sad at the same time. Happy, because you went on a realy great adventure and sad, because it is all over. There are so many possibilities this movie series cound continue on forever, but I guess it's too late for that. 

Hollywood does not make films(or film series) like this anymore. There is no great moral messag in these movies, but it is hell of a lot of fun going on a journey with Marty and Doc. Fun time is guaranteed with these three films.

To anyone, who hasn't watched this movie franchise yet: make yourself a favor by doing so.

My rating of the franchise:

8,5/10 Stars
 I: 8,5/10 Stars
II: 8,5/10 Stars
III: 8/10 Stars
