The Trailer:



2 Words:  Mind Blown. That's what I was during and after this movie. Turn after turn hit me like acorns being thrown by mangy squirrels. Right when I had it all figured out, WHAM! Bolt of lightning knocked into me a different century, sending me on multiple whirlwinds of adventure. All crazy metaphorical comparisons aside, this is the best sequel to any movie I've ever seen. Sure, some sequels hit the mark and others fall flat onto their movie posters...but this one goes beyond every sequel known to man. It takes the original movie to new heights and even takes the movie one step farther. Everything you saw in the first movie, is about to be layered with events that you never even knew took place.The end was so gripping and left me reaching like a mad person for Back To The Future Part III. I was so scared that I would be disappointed with a sequel to an already classic movie and Back To The Future Part II allowed me to breath a sigh of relief and exhilaration. I could go on and on about this movie, but then I'd be ruining it. Your favorite cast, a flying DeLorean and bad 80s cafes....what more could you want from the sequel to one of Spielberg's and Zemeckis' greatest accomplishments? A movie for all ages, for all times. It doesn't get much heavier than this!
