For my next review, I will be discussing a timeless classic in ‘Back to the Future’ https://www.backtothefuture.com/. From a very young age, time travel has always been a fascinating concept to me, and this film was able to effectively demonstrate this. The movie was released in the UK on the 4th of December 1985 and was directed by Robert Zemeckis.
The movie follows a young boy by the name of Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), who accidently travels back in time in an eccentric scientist’s time machine to the year 1955, following a brutal hit and run at a local mall’s car park. However, for Marty to return to the present, he must make his high-school-aged parents fall in love, which proves to be a difficult task, due to his interference in the past.
Following the success of this film in 1985, the movie would have two more sequels added to the franchise, both hitting cinemas in 1989 and 1990 respectively. In my opinion, the trilogy goes down in history as one of the most popular and iconic of all time, due to its individuality. At the time, it was a story that had never been told before and each film follows our favourite protagonists, but in different periods of history.
The now iconic DeLorean DMC 12 car, which Marty uses to travel through time is now looked at as a much-desired collector’s item and must perhaps a must have for enthusiasts of the franchise. However, in 2019, prices for certain models of the car can range in the very high thousands. Universal Studios currently owns two of the cars from the movies, with the original available for viewing in the Petersen Automotive Museum, Los Angeles. https://www.discoverlosangeles.com/things-to-do/back-to-the-future-delorean-at-petersen-automotive-museum
