Back in Time (2015)

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Cast, crew, and fans explore the classic time-travel trilogy's resonance throughout our culture 30 years after Marty went Back in Time.This is a hit and miss documentary, though it is a lot more hit than miss. Some of it, like the fan segments, are not that great. Do we care about a man proposing to his girlfriend or a miniature golf course? Not really. But the background information on how no studio wanted the film, and hearing from just about everyone involved, this is great and this film should be included on all future releases of the trilogy.And that is what strikes me as the most impressive -- that the series was never intended to be a trilogy, but only a single film. The way the three weave in and out of each other, it seems brilliantly intentional, but perhaps it is even more brilliant because of the way it looks natural. Maybe Dan Harmon thinks the sequels stink, but the general population loves them.

I was super excited to see this film being a kickstarter backer being a back to the future fan since seeing it as a teenager. (We will ignore the total failure to deliver digitally and physically the movie on time for backers for this review else it would loose another 4 marks).The film is an enjoyable romp through the film but is decidedly flat in what it delivers. The first half like all these films just trawls over the making of etc. that has been done a thousand times over and seen in countless TV programs. I was hoping for more in depth analysis but that did not occur.The second half of the film however is better talking to the fans, it's great to hear from other people with the same passions as you.Overall it is worth a watch, but not something to keep going back to.

I got the impression that this documentary wanted to produce new material that the countless other BTTF docs haven't. Sadly, I have not seen any of the previous, so I just got fed the leftovers.I'm a fan of the original and the second is one of the most exciting movies I've ever seen in a theatre experience. But, I have somehow stayed away from all the background of the commentaries, documentaries, behind the scenes, etc. Maybe I will someday, and this movie makes me want to.For, it did show how much more I would like to know about the trilogy, but didn't tell me. It's not the worst documentary made about a film I've seen – and I've seen plenty, but it's one of the most blah. That said, I might change my opinion if I get a chance to see all the others. I'm just starting late.So, if you've seen the rest, maybe this new perspective might help. But, if you haven't…I would strongly suggest beginning with anything on the old Blu-ray boxset or the new one that just came out last month. This is coming from someone who hasn't seen them, but longs for more substance than just a grand majority of fans talking.

I was looking forward to an interesting and in-depth celebration of this great movie trilogy but this has one of the weakest plays from a strong hand I've ever seen. Boy did it drag and dwell on uninteresting aspects. It felt like it was 6 hours long. So some guy bought one of the deloreans and proud of it, cool, but does it really need that much screen time when you've got Doc and Zemeckis, and Michael J Fox and crew. What a wasted opportunity. What a waste of the viewers time. Instead of invigorating my love for the movies it made me wary of watching things like this again. Who do we blame for this? Directors mistake?
