Back To The Future: Part 2 [DVD]

Description

Product Description A futuristic sequel to 'Back to the Future' (1985). Accompanied by Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), teenager Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) must travel thirty years into the future to save his own children from going to jail. Meanwhile, the aged Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) steals the Delorean time machine to return to the Fifties and make his younger self rich, creating an alternative 1985 timeline in which Marty's father, George, has been murdered. .co.uk Review Critics and audiences didn't seem too happy with Back to the Future, Part II, the inventive, perhaps too clever sequel. Director Zemeckis and cast bent over backwards to add layers of time-travel complication, and while it surely exercises the brain it isn't necessarily funny in the same way that its predecessor was. It's well worth a visit, though, just to appreciate the imagination that went into it, particularly in a finale that has Marty watching his own actions from the first film. --Tom Keogh
