Back to the Future

One of my all-time favourite films back on the big screen! How could I not see this, and I had to take my eldest!
We had watched the Trilogy a while back, but to see it on the Big Screen - digitally restored was a must see!

And you know what I think I enjoyed it even more this time round than I did back then (and Yes I saw it first time round at the cinema!). This film is pure cinematic magic. 25 years on and it still holds up against nearly everything around today! Ok the SFX are a little weak but this was the 80's before CGI and the big budgets ruled a movie. This was story telling at it's best, acting at it's best, Michael J Fox, Christopher Lloyd are outstanding in this film. Fox has comic timing to die for, helped by a wonderful script and some great direction, Fox hit's every comic note to perfection. Lloyd is also brilliant and I don't think he's bettered this role ever. We saw a glimpse of this character in Piranha but he never really got much screen time in that. This is a film I could just put on and watch again and again.

I also have to say that this was the best feeling I've had coming out a screening for a long time, not just me but the whole audience was buzzing at the end, even clapping.

Great Scott! One of the best movies ever! (10/10)
