Back to the Future: 25th Anniversary Trilogy (Blu-ray Disc, 2010, 6-Disc Set)

I just received this blu ray collection in the mail today. I am a huge Back to the Future fan. I love time travel stories, especially when theyre done with originality and style, and director Robert Zemeckis, Spielberg, Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd and a very funny, highly committed supporting cast do brilliant and touching work bringing these films to vivid life. In the first movie, Fox plays Marty McFly, a somewhat typical teenager who accidently travels from 1985 to 1955 and meets his parents when theyre teenagers themselves. The second film takes a cool, dark turn as Marty and Doc Brown, the inventor of the time travelling DeLorean sports car have to stop the villianous Biff Tannen from corrupting their hometown of Hill Valley in their not too distant future. Then in the third, final film, they journey to the Old West. All three are great comedies, highly inventive, and in this Blu ray collection, with superior visual and audio, theyll b even better!!

If you are a fan of Back the the Future, you've probably already got the box set on DVD. It already had lots of great extras, and unfortunately, there aren't too many new ones in the Blu-ray pack. This isn't saying that the Blu-ray isn't worth it, but don't expect mind-blowing special features. These are three amazing movies (from my childhood) that look and sound even better on Blu-ray...but is it really worth another purchase (at up to $40)? If you can get it cheap, go for it - if not, wait for it to come down.

The Blu-ray pack is sold as a "Six-Disc Set!" which sounds great, but three of those discs are just the digital copies of the movies - for those of you who need that, great, for me, it was a waste of space. The only new things that I could find on the set were storyboards and some bloopers.

The worst thing about this set is the packaging. While it looks great, it is next to impossible to get the discs out without flexing them beyond what I consider safe. Then, to get them back in, you better have your hammer and chisel. It literally takes about a minute to get the discs out and back in, and it is no wonder that they had to include an instruction sheet just on how to remove and replace the discs.

Long story short, wait for a price-break or a sale if you already have the DVD set - you'll have your movies when you want them, and not whenever the demonic packaging decides to loose its hold on the disc. If you don't have the set, then you owe it to yourself to own this spectacular trilogy...just be patient with the packaging, or better yet, just put the discs in a separate case.

first off Great movie the first ones my favorite.picture quiltys awesome.Storys pretty good ,but it kinda of repeats some line a little too much you either the script wrighter was running out of dialog or they liked that one line way the line used is I should of never built that time machine and d***.

Since going to the theater in 1985 to see the first Back to the Future I have watched all three movies several times in the past 25+ years. Watching these movies in 1080 on blu ray with DTS surround sound was like watching them for the first time. This high quality overhaul makes these 25 year old special effects look like they were developed with today's production tools. You will see items and people and hear sounds in the background that you have never noticed. Bottom line: Get the blu ray version and watch it on an HDTV in 1080 with surround sound and watch these movies for the first time in 25 years!

Micheal J. Fox best works acting wise, I have the DVD series, and look forward to the enhanced video/ 5.1 sound, I'm sure I will be amazed as I was when this movie originally come out !
