A minute amount of crush is visible at times, the worst quite minor in Steenburgen’s hair at 1:13:04 as Doc breaks up with her. Greens have some life as well, although definitely veering warm.īlack levels are a step up, save for the visual effects where they take on a bit of a digital glow. Certain aspects do carry some pop, the purple dress worn by Mary Steenburgen for the finale on the train quite vivid. It’s a true western, dusty look, pleasing to the eye and rich. Colors leave their modern, natural tints for warmer pastures, about the only thing the DNR wasn’t able to alter. This is certainly the most unique looking film of the series, all the more regrettable that it fares the worst due to the extensive tinkering. They all carry something resembling a religious symbol at times. In-focus shots of the town or mountain ranges are hilariously awful, the initial view of the clock tower containing a full-on halo around it. It’s odd too, the obvious sharpening having no positive effect on the overall look, the generous helping of grain reduction causing the image to appear impossibly soft. Since most of the film is shot during the day, edge enhancement again becomes abrasive. It’s amazing anyone gave the okay to something this sloppy, messy, and unnatural. Any shots with the camera pulled back are a nightmare, the early sequence where Marty shows off his cowboy outfit to Doc in 1955 flat out embarrassing.

Hardly a second of this movie even qualifies as “good.” Smearing occurs in abundance, although in patches, not consistently. Better compression won’t save what has become a butchered film. Why is anyone’s guess, and it doesn’t make a lick of difference. Oddly, while the previous two discs were encoded with VC-1, the third film is given an AVC effort. The few scenes where it is left on the print seems to be more of an accident. Grain is also absent, almost entirely in fact. There isn’t a lick of fine detail to be had, faces unbearably smooth and processed. From the opening moments of the film with Marty and the Doc at the theater, it’s a mess. If the DNR on the first was evident, atrocious on the second, it’s flat out offensive here. Sadly, one of the best films in the trilogy is destroyed on Blu-ray.

He’s funny, smart, full of romance, much like the series as a whole. The focus shifts to Doc, not Marty, and the loveable goofball cements himself as one of the greatest characters in all of Hollywood.

Taking the series into the Wild West (of course teased previously) is fresh air, the stale cityscapes torn down for a new take. Going far into the future, despite Biff’s corporate take-over, wasn’t the wildly goofy future trip it probably should have been. Maybe the most impressive thing about the third film is how unfamiliar it feels. Few ever achieve this level of success, Star Wars one of the rare exceptions to that rule, right alongside the grandiose sci-fi contributed to film by Back to the Future. It is a grand send-off to one of the most well-constructed Hollywood trilogies, that rare event where every sequel is given enough time, care, and attention to work. However, it is a payoff, Doc Brown finally finding some romance to go along with his science, and Marty departing on his final trip through the annals of time. In fact, this third edition is what the original likely would have been had the series begun in the west, paced similarly, running nearly the same length, and developing its characters just as deeply. It does, no small feat for Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, the film as energetic as the original without being overzealous in its attempts to “wow” the audience with the facets of time travel. There is more imagination on display here, the writing forced to be to carefully weld the entire history together without slipping up. More importantly, they each have the characters, and by this point, the audience is firmly entrenched in their adventure. Each contains that Marty & Doc Brown (Christopher Llyod) face-off while they devise ways to escape their predicament. This is a series strong in its traditions, each film having Marty (Michael J Fox) waking up thinking it was all a dream, Lea Thompson by his side. That sloppy little sequel that proceeded it pays off in spades here, the tighter, focused script allowing room to breathe and characters to develop. All of those subtle nuances, things hinted at in previous films, come to a head in Back to the Future III.
