In BTTF 2 they went to 2015- so by 2015 this film will look a bit strange:eek:

They well overestimated technological advances

Do you think we'll have hoverboarRAB , holographic billboarRAB and cars that can fly by 2015?:confused:
 
Holographic or moving BillboarRAB I think could be a possibility but I doubt the rest would happen lol.

Shame.

Wasn't there also moving newspapers, just like Harry Potter lol, would love them.
 
I feel that this is highly likely within the next 5 years.

Not sure it was in Back to the Future 2, though. There was a scene when the picture in the newspaper changed because of the change of events.
There was a lot of it in 'Minority Report', on the cereal box, newspaper, etc and most of the ideas in that film were what scientists felt would be feasible in the future.
 
Wow, I just found some stuff on youtube about the advert in 'Entertainment weekly'. It neeRAB some work but its not far off.

I saw e-ink on The Gadget show about a year ago and haven't heard anything about it since, but notices this on youtube too. Pretty impressive.

It probably cost more to make than the magazine sells for but proves that its economically viable.

Imagine what your living rooms going to look like at Christmas in the future with e-ink carRAB everywhere.
 
.... and 2010.

I was hoping that everybody would have a pet dolphin in 2010 but I still don't know anybody that's got one. :)

In some aspects we've actually surpassed BTTF.

Who still has a fax machine?

I am still awaiting the Pizza oven.

Come on, Black and Decker.
 
Well, they did get one major event right...

Michael Jackson is dead in 2015.

I don't think Back to the Future Part II will date too poorly for the simple fact that the large majority of it was never meant to be taken seriously and that's the problem I've always had with Part II vs. the original from day one, it gets far too silly at times. Marty's son looks "exactly" like him and so on. That also hurts the film when it suddenly becomes serious and dark later on, far darker in fact.

I never liked how Bob Gale turned 50s Biff from being a bully in the original, to suddenly a flat-out cold hearted killer, and this is not taking alternate timeline 80s Biff into account, that actually makes sense. Altering Biff's character in the 50s at the point it's suppose to be taking place at the exact same time it did in the original was very unbelievable. It's flat-out lousy writing, not to mention the balance is all over the place. Biff at no point in the original tries to kill anybody. It just screams "plot-device" in the script without thought of taking the original events into consideration. I think the third film rightly corrects a lot of the mistakes made in the second film putting it far more in touch with the excellent original, therefore making it the superior sequel.
 
I'm surprised they haven't remade BTTF yet. Probably will do soon. It'd have to be someone going back in time to the 80s nowadays I guess. Scary to think that it's almost as long since the release of the film as it was from 1955 to the present day back then.
 
These are coming. Watch BBC Click this week. They talk about the advances in eInk (used in eBook readers) that not only will allow moving images, but also allow the screens to be rolled up. Perfect for magazine and newspaper readers that are updated automatically over WiFi. I give it two years before they hit market.
 
Biff was all an act though (he uses his size in the original to intimidate Marty) He wasn't actually tough. I doubt he would have succeeded regardless and clearly resorted to the coward he actually was as soon as George laid him out, going by the original that is. Going by the sequel, why didn't he just murder her? He clearly tries to run Marty down with his car later on, going by the events in Part II. Why then didn't he bother to get his revenge on George? Not to mention he was so full of himself he didn't even know Lorraine's name in the original, yet in the sequel all of a sudden he does? And he wants her to marry him? Sorry not buying it. It's merely there as another plot device for the sequel, only it's contradicting the original events.

Remember the meat hooks scene in the original? Go back and watch it.

Watch the "million dollars" scene with Lorraine in the sequel and put it alongside the continuity of the scenes that follow in the original. It doesn't work, nor is it believable.

Even when Biff chases Marty with his car in the original, he is indeed trying to chase him, not "kill" him.
 
In some respects - BTTF2 was right on the money.

We have video phones now, we will in all likelyhood have pull down screen TVs (based on OLED technology) in 5 years time.

As for "hover" technology - if this guy isnt full of BS (I know :D:D:D) - even that could be a possibility:

That is 1 of the points why Disney (plus the storyline amongst others) didn't want to be the producer or whatever, but when the film was realeased they kicked themselves.


Somewhere on the DVD it mentions that the problem with Future films is getting things right, so they have to just use their imagination.

You got to remember things like Blade Runner as well, this is set in 2019. Running Man in 2025, Demolition Man in 2032, Total Recall in 2084, plus loaRAB of others.

There is probably things in these films that yet haven't been planned, such as the Neon Lights Umbrella in Blade Runner, them Laser Rifles used in Demolition Man etc.


I do prefer BTTF2 over the rest, again I was a kid when I saw it and always believed the future would be like that.

I would deffo buy an Hover-Board, but the PitBull version
