Great Scott, it has been roughly 40 years: briefly; we meet Marty McFly/other names [Michael J. Fox:] he intends Hill Valley High School in 1985, he also has a rock band known as The Pinheads; players lead guitar/vocals and in this audition which they lose they play "The Power of Love" released in 1985 by Huey Lewis and the News: which at one point or another you will hear this song. Marty is good friends with  Dr. Emmett" Doc" Brown [Christopher Lloyd:] he is a slightly eccentric scientist inventor with a dog called Einstein, he invents this time machine car: a DeLorean, it needs 3 things to work; plutonium or something that creates 1.21 gigawatts of electricity, flux capacitor and enough space to travel 88 mph. But after the incident Marty goes into the past to 1955 where he meets his future parents such as Lorraine Baines/other name [Lea Thompson:] she assists with Marty's recovery; you may want to be careful as she is interested in him.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 116 minutes film is smooth watching, as is always something happening

Art, action, comedy; the art is still amazing as the set designs and wardrobe very much have been given attention to detail, so it has been given the authenticity it needs to make this entire film to work off as to imply this film is genuine, the science fiction i.e. the DeLorean has been given the same high level of attention to detail, so whenever we get to see inside it; it looks highly technical but also clean and tidy and it is also incredibly smart from the aspect of the budget, we don't actually see the journey, we just see the entry and exit. Marty shows us the power of the skateboard be it 1985 or 1955; in 1985 he is running late, so he pillions off the back of vehicles to get to his destination, in 1955 he does something similar, but this time he is using a makeshift skateboard and being chased by bullies which is a good thing that they have a open roof at this time; as he sends the skateboard underneath, but he goes over the top/walking through to reconnect with the skateboard; don't worry these bullies have a stinky ending.

Character developments and performances; the character developments firstly follow the rules of time travel and secondly are really very good versions of what they are meant to be, with an excellent assembled cast with excellent chemistry, what with without giving too much away Thomas F. Wilson as Biff Tannen: as the bully from 1955 that picks on the McFly's or tries to as it relates to Marty. But let's be completely honest without J. Fox and/or Lloyd this film probably actually scratch that I am certain, that this film wouldn't have been a success/or go on to reach legendary or cult status without them, because on one hand you have a cool modern by 1985 standards that seems to understand Doc and vice versa, Doc sees Marty as a young adult that asks/engages with him in such a way that they have perfect synergy youth/streetsmart meets slightly eccentric/scientific mind. Yes for my younger viewers basically these two are the original Rick and Morty: just minus the adult content, the DeLorean [unless they have done an episode which I am unaware about as of when this content was first created, I was just thinking I would cover my back regardless] and the family relation of Rick and Morty.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; straight off the bat; if it could get any better which we now know it can, it needs to be seen on a big screen like at a cinema, because that is precisely what that person and I that I watch some of this content did on its 40th anniversary; you need to experience it on a big screen once in your lifetime or let's just start with if you have never seen this film it is one of those films that likewise you need to see once in your lifetime, it will always remain a classic, because without going on and on about it; it is a happy film that brings people together obviously if you want to spoil this film you could bring up the usage of outdated language, but I am not a penis, I mean I have repeatedly talked about the authenticity of this film and that is just a part of it, so as far I am concerned this trilogy can stand shoulder to shoulder with other classic trilogies such as the original generations of Star Wars and Indiana Jones and yes it also has some awards accredited to its name; such as 27 Winners Academy Awards, USA 1986 Academy Awards, USA Oscar Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing Charles L. Campbell Robert R. Rutledge and 25 Nominees which also include but not limited to from the same award ceremony/event Best Music, Original Song Chris Hayes (music,) Johnny Colla (music) and Huey Lewis are in the band I mentioned earlier (lyrics) For the song "The Power of Love" [I should point out that in total it has 3 Oscar Nominees to its name.]
