Hover boards and power laces


Back to the Future Part II (1989)

Directed by Robert Zemeckis this sequel stars Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Thomas F. Wilson and Elisabeth Shue. Marty and the Doc travel to the future to stop his son making a big mistake and end up causing problems through out the time line.

For this sequel the time travel shenanigans are really ramped up but the film does a great job with fitting itself in with the original, especially where events over lap. While predictions of the future were not exactly spot on the special effects really hold up and were ground breaking in a number of cases, hover boards are still iconic today. About the only criticism you can aim at the film is that it lacks some of the thematic depth of the original and this is in part to there being a lot of set up for the third film but you will be having so much fun watching this film you can over look any slight deficiencies.

5/5
