Today is the day Marty McFly arrives in 2015 to save his son from ending up in prison and ends up unleashing a chain of events in Bback to the Future Part II.
“That was the day Marty McFly went to the future of flying cars, controlling the weather and hoverboards,” said Gabriel Martos, business major.
In the first part of the trilogy, the movie opens with a fly Marty McFly playing the guitar while plugged into Doc’s super amp.
He decides to meet Doc in the parking lot of a JC Penny to test his time machine. After a successful test with Doc’s dog, Einstein, the terrorists who worked with Doc, show up and gun him down, as Marty flees in the DeLorean to November 5, 1955. The rest as they say, is history.
Martos’ personal favorite is the first film, because of how the movie portrayed the butterfly effect of messing with the past.
He added, “All the characters that were in the first film, have their own characteristics.”
In the third film, They work together to send Marty back to 1885, to where Doc Brown is trapped.
As a whole, the trilogy does a good job tying in the movies together, almost seamlessly so that it seems that every event in the series was meant to happen.
Zach Marin, undecided major, said, “I like westerns […] I like how he gets all those fancy cowboy clothes from 1985 and then it’s like ‘oh these aren’t authentic at all. I thought it was pretty funny.”
He is disappointed that the future isn’t as it was in the second film.
The final movie is underrated, unfortunately since personalities of characters like Biff Tannen or Principal Strickland, all get their own little backstory, without sacrificing screen time.
