What a beautiful movie!

... View MoreThe biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreI was excited to see this as I loved Back to the Future, which is the movie of the 80s, and I was hoping to even see Crispin Glover reveal all. But it was mainly DeLorean, DeLorean, and DeLorean. Yes, it played a significant role in the trilogy,and in many ways the center piece. But I really was hoping more in-depth interviews in this documentary.I would have given the documentary 9 if it was more balanced, but not to be.I would have loved to see the myth about the Super Bowl prediction debunked here, but not to be. Anyway, maybe there can be sequel to Back in Time to resolve this.
... View MoreBack in Time (2015) is a beautifully created documentary on the Back to the Future trilogy. It was great to see the documentary and get to know a lot of the history of the film as well as current happenings in today's time revolving around Back to the Future. There isn't much I can say about this documentary other than it is very well informative, documented, put together as a whole. I did enjoy the films back in the day and of course from time to time, I still load them in the DVD player to enjoy them.I learned some really cool facts about the films that I wasn't aware of, and also learned more about Michael J. Fox's charity. I've watched "Back in Time (2015)" four times now and enjoyed it thoroughly, it's sad to see the negative reviews on a film such as this but to each their own is what I say. If you're a fan of Back to the Future, then I'm sure you'll enjoy this nicely done documentary on the past and present of the films.
... View MoreGreetings again from the darkness. Thirty years is an eternity in the filmmaking world. Only a few dozen movies even get a cable run in year two. So, it's worth noting, and maybe even magical, when a movie is beloved and worshiped by a rabid fan base some three decades after release. Such is the case with Back to the Future, the story of Marty McFly and Dr. Emmett Brown and their time-traveling escapades. First time director Jason Aron offers up a look at the BTTF community of fans, and some behind-the-scenes scoop from those involved.Talking heads abound in the first part of the movie, as we see and hear from the masterminds of the classic: Robert Zemekis and Bob Gale, as well as Michael J Fox, Lea Thompson, Steven Spielberg, Huey Lewis, Christopher Lloyd, Claudia Wells, Alan Silvestri, Dean Cundey, Dan Harmon, Frank Price and others. Very little new information is served up, and in fact Mr. Zemekis doesn't seem especially excited to be involved, whereas Mr. Gale seems quite pleased and comfortable with his role in film history. The best "making of" anecdotes come from Michael J Fox, though it is interesting to note just how difficult it was for the film to get studio backing – "time travel" movies didn't have a successful box office track record.The middle third of the movie is dedicated to the iconic Delorean car, and all that entails. This sequence would have been effective were it completed in 10 minutes, but instead it brings the film's flow to a dead stop. Sure, it's amazing that this many have a hobby related to this obscure car and its role in a classic film, but enough already!Fan-based clubs and the accuracy of the film's "future" predictions for 2015 make up the final third of the run time, as we get a glimpse of how close we are to real hover boards and flying cars. The question that seems unanswered is just who is this film aimed at? Most of the insight has been long ago discussed in DVD "bonus" coverage or previous interviews with the key players. The fan communities are certainly of interest if one is part of it, but the vast majority of those who have held the film close to their heart for 30 years care little for the obsessive fringes, and only for the emotions and imagination delivered by the film that needs no roads.
... View MoreMy father, fiancé and I had the opportunity to go to a special screening of Back in Time in NYC on 10-20-2015. In attendance were Jason Aron, Louis Krubich, Lee Leshen as well as Bob Gale and Don Fullilove. It was awesome to be able to share this fantastic documentary in the presence of the film makers as well as BTTF legends! The film is extremely well done and is an absolute must see for any fan of the trilogy. It has a fantastic mix of stars, behind the scenes personnel and fans that really works. I cant wait to see it again! They are doing a nationwide tour also where they will be screening the movie. The tribute band The Flux Capacitors will play a show at each screening and some of the movie stars will attend as well. Gotta see that too! Congrats to all involved.
