Back To The Future is the epitome of classic blockbuster filmmaking with well-written characters with clearly defined motivations and arcs and a simple time travel story as a tool used effectively for great storytelling with 80's music being prevalent. It's a great comic strip story with great comedy not undermining its sci-fi and fantasy setting.
The pacing and story structure is rock solid with clear-cut character arcs and high stakes throughout the film with big character revelations and wacky situations. Its tone is balanced between dark comedy and wacky comedy. It provides themes of coming of age responsibility and adulthood. It's an original story with a well balanced tone, iconic dialogue detailed payoff and heartfelt cliches with its heart on its sleeve aproach. It's the perfect blockbuster with great art and great filmmaking.
Back To The Future is a stylized movie reminiscent of it's Ronald Reagan era with its idylic throwbacks albeit undercutting it at times. The direction is stellar with smash editing, employing inserts, intense editing which ramps up in the final act with great character focus and stylized direction and groundbreaking visual effects.
It's desaturated color grading gives this period piece life while commenting on its era with daft cynicism while having heart to revel in it with indulgence. The iconic music sequence is well directed with tension and intense editing giving it weight and substance while making the payoff satisfying. The casting is perfect with Michael J Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover giving them breakthrough roles of which some transcend generations (Christopher Lloyd). Overall the acting is great across the board while telling a classic story. Overall Back To The Future is a great blockbuster while employing great direction and art and transcends it's genre of teen incestuous comedy into something special.
