Back to the Future Part II

After taking a bit of a break — in part to do my October horror marathon — I’m back for a second round of films from 1989, starting with Back to the Future Part II. I always quite liked this one, much more than the third. Sure, I’ve come to appreciate the third one a bit more now, but at the time it felt a bit lame to be stuck in just one time period, while this sequel goes all over the place, and is so much fun because of it. It’s of course also a bit funny to see that far future of 2015 depicted in that way, but hey, we’ve passed the setting of the original Blade Runner too, so that’s just how things are now.
