What Would You Do With a Time Machine? Back to the Future Travels 35 Years

Great Scott! It’s been 35 years since the classic sci-fi comedy film Back To the Future hit movie theaters.

Directed by Robert Zemeckis, scored by Alan Silvestri, and starring Michael J Fox, the film follows Marty McFly’s time traveling adventure with the eccentric scientist Doc Brown. 35 years later, the film continues to be a huge pop culture phenomenon and a Hollywood classic.

Today, October 21st, officially celebrates “Back to the Future Day” which is the date Marty McFly travels to the past and sets in motion a new timeline that jeopardizes his very existence.

In conjunction with today’s festivities, fans around the world are treated to a whole slew of new retail products including the films first ever release in 4K on Blu-Ray and digital. From a new commemorative Hot Wheels release, board games, cooking book, and Transformers cross-over there’s a ton of new products to enjoy from our friends at IDW, Funko, Hasbro, Mattel, Loot Crate, and more.

New Back to the Future Products

Back To the Future The Ultimate Trilogy

For the first time ever, Back to the future is now available on 4K Ultra HD. The new home release also features over an hour of brand-new content such as rare audition footage from notable actors such as Ben Stiller, Jon Cryer, Billy Zane, and Kyra Sedwick.

The release also includes selected deleted scenes, a touching Q&A with Michael J. Fox, and more behind the scenes looks. While the bonus material were previously included in the original 6 discs, the 7th disc features all new material, from the Lost Audition Tapes to episodes of the new animated series, and a cool look back of the making of the film.

While you may have a copy of this sitting in your home already, this time around Universal apparently did a complete overhaul of the original 35mm camera negatives and remastered each film. The film never looked any better than this Ultra HD release. The contrasts, black levels, and details look a lot more striking and is complemented with the new Dolby Vision HDR presentation. The Dolby Atmos soundtrack is also superb especially when Silvestri’s score is blaring through the speakers.

This release is easily a must-own set due to the brand new content and the newly restored look. Also be sure to check out Target or Amazon for a cool limited hoverboard collectible that’s included in their release.

Playmobil Back to the Future Delorean

Playmobil has been knocking it out of the park ever since they started to do collaborations with films and TV shows. This release is no different.

The Back to the Future Delorean playset is amazing – complete with gullwing doors, the ability to turn the wheels into “hover-mode”, and the tons of accessories it comes with including Marty, Einstein the dog, and even a suitcase of plutonium (a must have for time travel apparently.) The set also has an awesome light up feature that even lights up the flux-capacitor inside along with the blue electric touches around the vehicle.

The scale and mold is amazing and is a must have for adult and kid collectors alike!
