Starting out the day with a fun movie always seems to make me feel better so I popped in Back to the Future II this morning and watched it with the commentary from the producer/director to gain some perspective on the making of this sci fi classic. Beginning right after the first one ends, BTTF II goes in an entire different direction by using vast amounts of ILM work to show futuristic cars, landscapes, and technology that make this adventure much more realistic and dramatic when it deals with saving their entire existence. What was cool listening to the commentary this time around was the little details they pointed out including fake posters, newspapers, stunts that went wrong, as well as when FX shots appear like when the car turns from a model to real. Explaining how they incorporated CGI into the sets to give it a blending of time periods really made this movie original, using their guesswork of the future to mirror our current technology and thoughts of how we would make things easier. From the hoverboard scene to the car chases, this sequel builds up the tension and score to bring your imagination full front in order to want these characters to get back to reality. This movie will always stand out as a must see for the way it reimagines the laws of time travel while giving you a great villian , hero, and scientist making you wish you could be there with them on this exciting journey.
