BACK TO THE FUTURE DOUBLE FEATURE
May 4, 2015  | By David Bianculli

Talk about a blast from the past. Back to the Future, the Michael J. Fox time-traveling comedy hit that begins this prime-time double feature, was released in 1985 – 30 years ago now. Sigh. It has Fox, as Marty McFly, going back in time 30 years, to 1955. And now, if we traveled into the past that same length of time, we’d go back to when this movie premiered. But it gets worse. The second part of this doubleheader is 1989’s Back to the Future Part II, in which Marty and “Doc” Brown (Christopher Lloyd) traveled far into the future, to the era of the hoverboard and other neat toys. The year of that particular imagined future? You’re not going to like this: It’s set in the year… 2015.
