Great Scott! Today is October 21, 2015. To serious nerds this date means a lot. It's when Marty McFly went to the future. And, by buying the Sports Almanac nearly destroyed our past...um...1985.
The second movie of the trilogy is dark. But Zemeckis has stated he felt it was a more honest achievement of how the future could be. It's warped but still functional. Sort of. It really does say a lot about how politics eventually change the outcome of a city's landscape of over 30 years. If you have Goldie Wilson III, all is well, if you have Red...things are dark. Since the guy takes payouts from dirty Biff. Hill Valley becomes Vegas, essentially.
I like the movie, but it goes on pretty long. Especially re-doing the first Enchantment Under the Sea prom. That is a pretty excruciating gimmick. It belongs in the movie, but it just feels long.
Anyway, you can search out all the conspiracy theories of how much the movie got right or wrong. I mean, we don't get hover cars, but we get electric cars. That 'aint bad. Also, hoverboards. You can go fuck yourself with your hoverboards. Vintage stores exist. No one remembers "Power Of Love" or the Pinheads. Pepsi in weird bottles? Kitschy 80's memorabilia? Yeah, it's around. Cars don't fly.
Other than that...spot on!
