Micheal J Fox ftw
Calicodreamin28 July 2021
Michael J Fox for the win, seriously there's no way back to the future would have been the same without him. The behind the scene stories were interesting, the interviews relevant, and the archival footage fun to see.

Quirky Style With Some Fun Behind-The-Scenes Stories
zkonedog1 August 2021
This "Movies That Made Us" series takes a tone that is light-hearted, sometimes even a little goofy, and full of whiz-bang visual effects. Like that approach or not, it always at least somewhat "makes up for it" with access (e.g. Interviews) with key members of the production.

Here, the focus is on the duo of Robert Zemeckis & Bob Gale who were essentially the brain-children of "Back To The Future" and how they shepherded the project through numerous script changes and even a now-iconic acting switching (from Eric Stoltz to Michael J. Fox). Other key members of the production crew also weigh in on the experience and tell some fun/informative stories I hadn't heard about the film.

Overall, a spectacular entry in this series for a one-of-a-kind film that is truly one of the greatest, genre-diverse motion pictures ever constructed.

Good but what about the soundtrack.

Good but what they did not talk about the soundtrack..... The original music of the film..... They just not mention how it was made. Modoc can forget it that music.

Non-stop jump cuts.
rboehm572-682-92048828 July 2021
I couldn't get through the first five minutes. It was jumping all over the place with constant cuts and "Wait - let's go back a minute!" edits.

Kill the narrator

The content is really interesting but the narrator is so annoying!
