Excellent documentary about "Back to the Future". I guess if you're really into the franchise, you probably know everything that was presented here, but for the uninitiated who have a slightly-more-than-passing interest, with a touch of nostalgia (as myself), this documentary is a wonderful journey... It has it's flaws (pointed out by many die-hards, e.g. overemphasis of the DeLorean), but this is wonderful introduction to the legacy of BTTF for those not indoctrinated. This documentary presented many facts about the film that I was unaware of... I didn't know that the script had changed radically, nor that many scenes had been shot by the time Marty McFly was recast -- I knew subconsciously about the recast, but not about its extent. I really enjoyed the section at the end where people connected with BTTF positied the way they would use time travel if it were suddenly available to them... There were a lot of truly dedicated and insightful people involved in producing this film, and it shows in that final segment.

I was excited to see this as I loved Back to the Future, which is the movie of the 80s, and I was hoping to even see Crispin Glover reveal all. But it was mainly DeLorean, DeLorean, and DeLorean. Yes, it played a significant role in the trilogy,and in many ways the center piece. But I really was hoping more in-depth interviews in this documentary. I would have given the documentary 9 if it was more balanced, but not to be. I would have loved to see the myth about the Super Bowl prediction debunked here, but not to be. Anyway, maybe there can be sequel to Back in Time to resolve this.
