You might even say it was striking a clocktower, which is even more difficult to replicate. The concept is lacking that freshness from when the original film debuted, but that was capturing lightning-in-a-bottle. The performances are still great here, making the characters enjoyable to watch. The script from Zemeckis and Bob Gale is simply not as tight as before, but it’s still a fun ride. The individual character arcs of Doc and Marty are fine, but–as with the previous installment–the dialogue used to motivate them can feel a bit too on-the-nose at times.Īs with most third movies, fatigue is bound to set in, and Back to the Future is no different. Fortunately, Zemeckis compensates for this on other fronts, such as integrating a locomotive into our protagonists’ plan in an interesting way. While there is definitely fun to be had in this Wild West setting, the set design is lacking a bit when it comes to the town. All three were finished on film at the 1. Back to the Future III was shot using Panavision, Arriflex, and VistaVision cameras (the latter again for VFX) with spherical lenses. Even better, this new character in no way detracts from the already terrific chemistry between Fox and Lloyd. Back to the Future and Back to the Future II were each shot on 35 mm photochemical film using Panavision and VistaVision cameras (the latter for VFX) with spherical lenses. He gets a nice love interest, played by Mary Steenburgen, who brings a lot of sweetness to the story. Wilson relishes his villainous role, creating an obstacle for our protagonists to overcome yet again.īut easily the best part of this third installment is that it shifts the focus from Fox’s character, allowing Lloyd’s character to have more time in the spotlight. Also returning is the bully Biff Tannen–in Western form this time–and Thomas F. Yes, history has a way of repeating itself when it comes to Marty encountering his relatives, and this trilogy closer handles those scenarios no differently. He is knocked out by a bear that is also lurking there, and is found by his great-great-grandparents. Marty arrives amidst a fierce Cavalry pursuit of Indians, and hides the DeLorean in a cave until they can refuel it. This film picks up right where its predecessor ended, with Doc and Marty learning that they must travel back to 1885 Wild West to save the scientist from a terrible death. in the previous film, the best idea here is to completely shut off your brain and have fun, because the plot hardly makes any sense this time around. As a result, if you found it a bit too hard to follow the ins-and-outs of time travel and alternate dimensions, etc. You might even say that, when it comes to trilogies and franchises, it’s nearly impossible for that same lightning to strike a third time.
When it comes to sequels, it’s important to remember the old adage: it’s difficult to capture lightning in a bottle twice.
