Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.

'Back to the Future' is funny and exciting. The story about a teenager Marty (Michael J. Fox) who travels back in time with an invention from Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) and meets his own parents as teenagers is funny, exciting and original. The movie itself has so much fun with the paradoxes you just have to like it.

Telling more about the story would spoil some very nice surprises so I won't do that. I can say that this is one of those entertaining movies where you should not think too much although it has some interesting ideas about its subject. For some very good laughs, a fine story with some nice surprises and with pretty good visual effects this is one to watch.
