Back to the future

well, the alternate reality that dissolved really played a part in that as well. I mean, who knows what would have happened, but it dosn't matter because that reality never existed.

The idea was a real head fucker though.

Anyway, i think 2 wasn't as popluar because it lost the 'cute' factor. the silly lighthearted humor that was prevalant in 1 and 3. In a way though, it adds balance to the series. It may not be a great movie on it's own, but it increases the enjoyability of the other two movies.

At least that's how it works for me.

I liked 2 best actually. That might be because it was a long time before I saw the others. It's portrayal of the future probably wasn't very accurate (was it 2005, 2015? I forgot) but it was fun. I guess I also liked it because I had the game of it. I only managed to finish it by cheating.

most future tense movies oddly get it wrong, I mean shit Space: 1999 had people on a Moon base I don't think Man has gone anywhere near the moon in about 20 years.

Terminator had us all dead by now, fighting a war with machines we built.

Because oddly we don't live in a sci-fi world, Man makes great advances like we had all these crazy idea of what we could do with the Human Genome but it was gonna take like 30 years to do (completed after 13 in 2003) and it hasn't changed the world as we know it.

...yet. I do hear about some fairly crazy shit going on in the background. Like this, for example.

the bold print just under the headline made me think of drunk cyborgs.

The only problem with hearing about things like this, is that you tend to never hear od them for another ten years/ and by then theyre not properly used or distributed unless youve got like 3 million extra bucks to spend on buying it.

'myomer'(sp?) muscles they where called in BattleTech, yeah sci-fi can be reflecting in RL however I don't see those muscles powering massive war machines in the year 3025

The second film didn't appeal to me as much because of the whole alternate reality part. It went from the cuddly comedy of the first film, to a mild horror. Which, to me, just didn't suit it one bit. I enjoyed all the futuristic quirks beforehand, however.
