Back to the Future Movies

These are classic movies that offer viewers a chance to see the possibility of time travel, with the invention of the brilliant mind of Doc Brown.  The first one is good, as it takes Marty back to 1955 to find the young Doc Brown to help him out as the time traveling Delorian had ran out of fuel and plutonium which he needed to get back to 1985. Well, in 1955 plutonium is a little hard to come by, so Doc had to find an alternate source of energy strong enough to power the Delorian and send Marty home. young Doc found out that the only source of power capable of producing that much power is a bolt of lighting, but you never know where its going to strike next. However with the assistance of a flyer to save the clock tower and when it got struck by lightning on Nov 12 1955, it inspired Doc to come up with a special rod to attach to the Delorian to power up the time machine and send Marty home.
                     Marty had problems in 1955, as he bumped into his parents when they were just teenagers and altered history as George Mcfly, which would be  his dad in the future, wasn't the one to get hit by his grandfather's car, while watching his would be future wife Loraine Banes. Marty got hit instead as he pushed George out of the way, just before his granddad would've hit him with the car, and his would be future mom Lorraine Banes had the hots for him upon taking Marty to her bedroom to look after him. She called him Kalven Klein as it was written on Marty's underpants. So he and  young Doc had to find a way to get his future dad and mom together and fall in love, as Marty's future existence would be in trouble as he would fade from existence. Well another guy named Biff, had the hots for Lorraine and tried to get her to love him, but also bullied Marty's future dad. Marty had to convince his future dad to stand up to Biff and go out with the girl. The inspiration came with the under the sea dance, but every plan has a few bumps in the road, as Marty had his own  battles with Biff as well. It was a close call, but after Marty sets up his future dad to come and get Lorraine from Marty, Biff had gotten there before him, and got the  girl first. Well his future dad was in shock as he came to the scene and somehow managed to punch out Biff and stood up to him, and got the girl.  The trip  back was very rocky, as Doc had set up his experiement and special lighting rod from the clock tower to lure the bolt of lightning as it struck the  tower to the Delorian, as Marty sped across the wire and having the lightning rod touch the wire, suppling the Flux capacitor with the 1.21 jiggawats of power sending Marty to 1985. Interesting enough that his future was altered a little, as his house had changed and his parents had changed as well. Even Biff was no longer a bully to Marty's Dad, as he hired Biff to work on his dented car.
           The sequel, was look into the future, which I really enjoyed. Seeing how an apple computer is an antique, and in 2015, the CafĂ© 80's had a Pac-Man arcade machine in the background with a Do not touch sign spread across the cabinet. Everything seemed futuristic and it was a  chance to see what kind of progress and technology awaits us in our  future. Flying cars seemed like a great possibility, but we no longer have public phones in 2014, as everyone has Iphones. It wasn't a prediction, but more of an insight of how far our progress will take us. The inside of the house of Future Marty and his girlfriend being Married, showed a whole variety of futuristic inventions,.
The compressed Pizza was hydrated in a Black and Deckor Hydrator. Marty's kids wore special shades that enabled them to watch tv at the table, as well as be notified of incoming video phone calls.  I found it fascinating with the Lithium mode, and the computer voice to greet you when you come home with a positive attitude.  I guess you can say that I really enjoy the future and what kind of modern hi-tech electronics are going to be invented to revolutionize our future lives, as if they don't complicate our lives enough already.  But the hoover boards are a neat thing to be able to float in mid air.  What a concept, as Marty gets an antique book of the sports almanac on the World Series from 1950-2000, and thinks that he could make millions by placing a few known outcome bets and score a bundle. However Old Biff manages to get the sports almanac, steals the time machine and gives it to his younger self in 1955, and changed 1985 big time. Marty found out the hard way of what happened, as Doc had explained why 1985 had been altered, as  future Biff stolen Marty's original idea and now  young Biff is rich, powerful, and owns his own hotel/casino. So Marty had to find out the hard and dangerous way the exact day and date he got the almanac as Biff is now Marty's father, as Biff had killed his biological father George Mcfly.  After a life and death struggle, Marty gets the date of when Biff got the almanac, he and doc  to go back to 1955 and get the almanac from young Biff. But he had to do it all without encountering his other self that came to 1955 the first time around.
               Not an easy chore, as the older Biff managed to give it  to his younger self, and Marty had to keep an eye and somehow get the almanac from young Biff.  At the high school, he principal of the school took it from young Biff, and Marty had to sneak into the Principal's office to get it without being seen. It was funny, as Marty was under the Principals desk, and just as he was about to reach up and get the almanac from the desk, the Principal rolls his chair on the back of Marty's hand, and he was in serious pain, but couldn't scream. but when the principal tosses out the almanac, Marty grabs  it, but it only turns out to be the cover as inside was a magazine that showcased sexy women.  So that means that young Biff has the almanac all along and, Marty had done some fancy foot work to get it and to find a way to prevent his other self from getting into harm from Biff's buddies. The ending was funny, as with a strong struggle as Biff chased down Marty with his car, to  get the almanac,   Doc comes to the rescue and saves Marty, and Biff crashes his car into a manure truck. Yeah, now Marty takes the  almanac and burns it, and the future becomes as it was before, but Doc gets struck by lightning and is sent to 1885. Boy was young doc shocked to see the other Marty come back for help, after he sent the first Marty back to the  future.
           Is time  travel possible? Some say it is, others say you can't, but if it was, our world would  be even more messed up as with everyone traveling through time and altering history, nothing would be the same and everything would be screwed up. Your home, world, and your life would change dramaticly and nothing would be the same ever. But with time travel, you  could go back in time and correct any serious mistakes you've made in your life, or to see a family member that had long died before you were born and meet up with  them. But it can be dangerous, as you threaten your very own existence if  you, prevented them from meeting up and marrying. It all sounds great, as you can take advantage of missed opportunites, and regain all the things you've lost in life. But would it all be worth it?  The Back to the Future movies are great to watch, but what if was to be re-released into theaters in 3-d? but just one question comes to my mind. Since Marty had brought along a video camera and a Walkman tape player with him to 1955, wouldn't those things fade away from existence as they've never existed or had been invented in 1955? For even more fun, I recommend that you get the Back to the Future game for the pc from Teltale productions.
