Happy #BackToTheFutureDay! Was neat to see some of the actors today. Make sure to donate to the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson''s Research: http://michaeljfox.org
Enjoyable for most, really powerful for big fans.
Good documentary about the making of the film!
One point twenty-one gigawatts of fun, Back in Time is an entertaining documentary that looks at the making of Back to the Future and its lasting impact. Several of the filmmakers and cast members are interviewed and discuss how Back to the Future was developed, and the effects that it’s had on their lives and pop culture. In addition, a number of prominent fan communities (such as DeLorean enthusiasts) are featured and talk about what they’ve done to show their love for the film series. However, as interesting as this all is, the structure’s a little loose; sort of randomly switching back and forth from to topic to topic. Yet despite its problems, overall Back in Time is an enjoyable retrospective of a great film and its devoted fandom.
