Review of Back to the Future Part II (1989) by Phillip M — 06 Nov 2012

This movie was way different, and had quite a bit going on in it. You have to stay focused, or you'll be pretty lost. Doc and Marty once again team up, and have quite a few adventures. Objective after objective, they sure seem to get into a lot of trouble.

Doc and Marty also travel through time as easily as travelling through space. They were in like four different time periods. My favorite part of the movie was the future in 2015 (thats like three years from now, wheres my flying car?) I have to admit it was a pretty interesting vision of the future, and quite colorful too.

It was just interesting to look at. The alternate 1985 scenes were pretty dark, and once you get there, you kind of don't want to be there anymore, and just want to get it over with. So without spending too much time in that living hell, they go back to 1955 where they have to stop Biff from keeping that book.

When they succeed in taking and burning it, Doc is stuck in the de lorean and struck by lightening, and sent back to who knows when. Mere seconds later, Marty receives 'the letter', and the movie ends on a cliff hanger.

Unlike Empire Strikes Back, the conclusion to this series was released the following year, and audiences were eased. This film is mostly adventurous, sci-fi, and comedy, not as much stuff as the first one, but a very enjoyable film nonetheless, though you might get a headache from all the time travel talk.
