Back to the Future Trilogy [Blu-ray] [Region Free]
P**E
It's about time...
Yeah, I know they used that tagline for the original trailer for BTTF2 - but it's apt here for this Blu-Ray release of the trilogy. Even if some of the effects shots are beginning to show their age, the speed, economy and the vitality of the storytelling on display isn't. After the relatively sunny and brilliantly entertaining Part 1, Part 2 is given a darker twist with a mind-messing plot line. Even Empire magazine's review at the time was headlined "Back to the Drawing Board", an opinion they have amended in the intervening years. Todays audiences will be much more receptive to it's temporal gymnastics. Part 3 blends all the themes from the previous two films, ending with a good old-fashioned show-stopping climax.As I suggested earlier, the transparency of Blu-Ray format reveals differences between composite and live action shots, with the effects announcing themselves by looking slightly less sharp. But Zemeckis was no idiot, and he cleverly 'feathered' his effects shots with the live action. That Blu-Ray can resolve this kind of detail is astonishing, and the transfer boasts bright crisp visuals with noticeable (but not distracting) original film grain. The audio is similarly upgraded, the dynamic soundtrack full of slicing strings and rasping brass, mixed particularly brilliantly during the climax with the steam locomotive in Part 3. The instruction to 'PLAY LOUD' should be emblazoned on each of these discs - make sure the neighbours are out.A final word about Part 3, which on all previous transfers had a strange 'NTSC' look to the visuals. This version is better balanced colour-wise, with the earthy reds of the landscape now held in check by the superior resolving power of Blu-Ray.Complaints? Only mild. Comparing this (standard) Blu-Ray box set with the previous (2004, I think) DVD release, the packaging is a definite step backwards. The Blu-Ray face labels have rather blurry pictures of Marty, whereas the older DVDs were easily identified by crisp reproductions of the original movie posters. Also, the old DVD booklet was much more informative than the Blu-Ray's. In the end, it's the films that count - but I can't help but feel slightly disappointed. This will (probably) be the last time these great movies are released on a physical format (as opposed to downloading), and a little more time spent on presentation would have transformed a good package into a great one.Discs? Where we're going, we won't need discs.

But who decided on the disc printing?
There is no need to go into the films as such as these have been pretty well covered.The quality of the blu ray transfer is superb though, you can certainly notice a touch of make-up here and there. The difference between this and the original scenes found within the extras, you can see the amount of work that has gone into this transfer. It is a bit of a shame that with the tech available that the team didn't do much to hide the mapping outline from the car in flight at night, much like the original release of star wars where you can see the out of contrast block surrounding the ships. A minor gripe but there you go.The bluray features are lovely. Not up to the quality of the film specific 'MUTHUR MODE' of the Alien Anthology but it is a stylish looking menu if a little corporate. All the features can be accessed in film and if you want to see the theatrical trailer, once it has finished it'll return you to the last position of the film you were up to. You can also access the in-film trivia mode etc. from the film so in that respect the disc is a pleasure to use.The sleeve for this box-set comes with the increasingly popular foil finish which does look really nice and is not noticeable from the Amazon image so it was a treat to get more than I expected even at first glance.My biggest gripe is the physical disc itself. I recently sold the DVD trilogy so I have no comparison to make but the images on the discs themselves are pretty shocking. They are boring and of really low quality. BTTF pt.III is by far the worst, it looks as though it is some sort of pirate copy shocker. Such a shame when the collection that has been put together has clearly been a labour of love.As the films are of legendary status I cannot knock a star for the discs that will be hidden in the machine or box 99% of the time but it was a shame.

amazing set
This review or comments' is not about the movies we all know how good they are this is more about the service and my experience with amazon in this instance lets start with very slow post this time over 2 weeks very poor however it has to be said the packaging was far better cardboard is much thicker and able to absorb a large amount of damage i'm very happy with this as i've complained about the previous packaging not being enough i hope this type of packaging and care is implemented into all game, dvd, blu-ray and book titles.But at over 2 weeks delivery on this item it is the worst delivery service i've received from amazon thus far if it had been delivered in the 2-3 days as it should and with this packaging it would be the perfect transaction and would serve to bring me back shopping to amazon full time as it stands there's too many errors creeping up and i've herd this from others also. I had also ordered the jurassic park trilogy and waited the same more than 2 weeks only to be told that they no longer had the item at amazon warehouse deals no thought of a standard replacement was even considered charge me for the slightly damaged and as you don't have the item your at fault so you should replace with a new copy especially given the fact that the difference between the damaged and the new was only £2 over two weeks of time wasting and now the set is no longer at the reduced price this is an example of the service i'm receiving at the moment i really do hope that most others are being treated better.

Back to the Future Triology on blu-ray (region-free)
The Back to the Future triology is great -- a must-see for all adventure fans. I've watched the movies at least a hundred times, and I still love them.The blu-rays are very clear, and they make the movies even more fun to watch than the DVDs. When I first ordered the Back to the Future Trilogy on blu-ray, I was worried that they wouldn't work because they were being shipped from the UK and I live in Canada. I haven't had any issues with these blu-rays, and they arrived much quicker than I expected. I got the blu-rays in the mail in about a week and a half.

大昔のテレビ放送時の吹き替えも追加で入っていて良いです
6年前に購入3シリーズ共にDVDで持っていましたが日本語吹き替え(TVとは別物)に違和感があり字幕で見ていましたこのBD版にはDVD吹き替え版に加えテレビ放送時の音声も収録されており懐かしく鑑賞できました。当時のテレビは2カ国語放送で、その吹き替え版はモノラル収録ですでもステレオ収録し直したDVDの日本語吹き替えよりTV版が、言い回し方といいなんと言い、こちらが良いですインポート版にはめずらしくフル対応なので★★★★★です。。
