- Reviewed in Canada on October 26, 2020Back to the Future is my favourite movie of all time -- the sequels following closely behind. I had previously bought the 25th anniversary blu ray set, but now own a pretty nice 4K OLED TV so I had to get these movies once more to get that 4K HDR goodness.
I haven't watched all three yet, but the first movie looks excellent in 4K. It's truly a top notch transfer from the original film, you see every grain and detail like never before. Plus the HDR is a big improvement from watching the 1080p version on my OLED TV, where dark scenes would get blotchy and weird (a downside of viewing lower bitrate HD video on a 4K OLED screen).
All the bonus content discs are 1080p HD blu ray discs however. There's one for each movie, plus one additional new disc for this 35th anniversary release. It contains some new, never-before-seen content like audition tapes.
On top of all this, the special 鶹-exclusive version contains a novelty miniature hoverboard. It legitimately hovers over a curved magnetic ramp with clear plastic walls to keep the hoverboard in place. It's a neat little bonus item.
One little additional note; the start of the disc shows an incredible new 4K HDR version of the Universal logo reveal. Wow that looked cool! I imagine they put that in all their 4K blu rays, but I admittedly mostly stopped buying movies on discs except for rare exceptions. Very impressive little demonstration of the format though.
