About this movie

The final installment of the Back to the Future trilogy finds Marty (Michael J. Fox) digging the trusty DeLorean out of a mineshaft and looking up Doc (Christopher Lloyd) in the Wild West of 1885. But when their time machine breaks down, the travelers are stranded in a land of spurs. More problems arise when Doc falls for pretty schoolteacher Clara Clayton (Mary Steenburgen), and Marty tangles with Buford Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson).

Ratings and reviews

This movie is better and improves a lot from the 1989 sequel. Still, it doesn't live up to the first. Unfortunately, it's a lot like the first two movies. That could be good, but could also be bad. Everything unfolds in the exact same manner. They travel back in time, Marty gets a head injury, wakes up someplace, confronts Biff, and then meets back up with Doc Brown. However, Doc's life has never been in danger before, and that's a welcome addition to the plot. It's also a fun spin on a western movie.

Marty and Doc Brown's saga finishes in this thrilling sequel. Exploring a unique setting in the series while maintaining the same cast and crew kept the premise fresh while keeping the charm and comedy reminiscent of the earlier films. As a whole, the trilogy is among the best I've seen and a personal favorite. This wild west adventure in Hill Valley makes for a great story and is quite the ride from beginning to end. Bravo.

At first, I thought Back To The Future 2 was my all time favorite movie in the series but after re watching BTTF 3 I came to loving it more than 1 and 2. Although BTTF 1 still remains the best but the third is beyond fun and can't get enough of it. I've lost count how many times I have watched the films.
