Back to the Future: a review

Back to the Future is a great movie of science fiction, comedy and adventure. The reason I’m so excited to write about this movie is that it's one of my favorites.

Now, let's take a trip back in time to 1985 (when the movie came out)...

In the story, 17-year-old Marty McFly is sent to the past in a time-traveling DeLorean that was made by his friend, the eccentric Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown. He travels to the 1950s when his parents were around his age.

Shortly upon arrival, Marty accidentally ruins the moment his parents meet. Afterward, he notices his siblings slowly fading away from a photograph he’s carrying. Marty finds Doc, and the two realize that his parents might never get together. Then, not only would his siblings disappear from the photo, but they PLUS MARTY will disappear from reality itself as the potential of his family is destroyed!

Before he can disappear from the photo, Marty has to fix things. He decides to be a wingman for his dad, helping him get to know his mom. As he helps his parents fall in love, he gets to know them too and even plays a rock song at the 1950s high school dance.

Having knowledge of the future, he and Doc realize they can use a lightning strike upon the local clock tower to repower his time-traveling DeLorean and get -- well -- back to the future.

After Marty makes it home, he sees that his present still exists but is now a bit better!

That’s when you think it’s all over…but it’s not! The DeLorean is back, and Doc has returned back from the future!!!!! He needs Marty’s help, so they jump into the time-traveling car and zap away!
