Review of Back to the Future (1985) by Shaun B — 02 Jan 2019

Universal Entertainment join Steven Spielberg once again to produce one of the best movies of all time. The writers: Robert Zemeckis (who also directed it) and Bob Gale had the imagination to bring a story so powerful and brilliant that you would get anymore from a cinematic masterpiece such as this. The plot: Marty McFly, a 17-year-old high school student, is accidentally sent thirty years into the past in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by his close friend, the maverick scientist Doc Brown. The character development in this film is on the mark because you get to know the characters and know their story towards the plot.

The visual effects and cinematography was great but on the scene where Doctor Brown was looking at his future on the TV, the camera angles were very out of placed. They went up and down constantly. The score for the film was very good, but the score was sometimes too dramatic for the scene. But over than that, the score in this film was tight. The sound effects for the DeLorean was very good and it was an academy winner. Now let's talk about the theme: The Theme was one of the best themes in a film and has a memorable tune like Star Wars, Indiana Jones and many more. The scene where Marty gatecrashes the enchantment under the sea dance with him singing Johnny B. Goode was my favourite scene in the film because when you saw Marvin Berry on the phone to Chuck Berry saying to him about the new sound he was looking for was hilarious because Chuck Berry sung Johnny B. Goode in 1958. Plot holes: As being a time travel movie, you would expect there to be plot holes, and this film does. I not going to talk about them all, but this one annoyed me the most. When Marty came back to the future he saw his mum again. But when he saw his mum, wouldn't she remember him for 1955 or when he came back he was forgotten by everyone he met in 1955.

Overall Back To The Future is a brilliant film that i'd recommend you watch because it is an extraordinary classic. Recommend rating 12 for scenes of bullying, infrequent strong language and a scene of sexual harassment. 98% - A+.
