Can you believe it has been 30 years? Great Scott....I cannot. Honestly, this movie is shown at my house weekly - I still don't watch it - but my hubby and kids LOVE it!
Now you can get the 30th Anniversary Trilogy of Back to the Future Set on sale right now.
It was released on 10/20/2015. Of course today, 10/21, there is a lot of hype about Back to the Future as they had predicted the Cubs would be in the World Series back then.
In this set you will get a Blu-Ray and Digital HD copies of all 3 films.
This retails for $49.98, so it is a great deal this week!
FUN FACTS:
The movie Back to the Future Part II sent Marty McFly, his girlfriend Jennifer and Doc Brown from 1985 to October 21, 2015. I remember watching and wondering what 2015 would look like and now were here. Let’s see what technology predictions came true and check out the few that didn’t.
HOVERBOARD
Unfortunately, hoverboards don’t actually exist… yet. But for tech that’s cool and floats like Marty’s levitating skateboard deck, check out drones. From small toys that roll across the floor, to quadcopters complete with gimbal-mounted 4K cameras and GPS, drones are here and getting better all the time.
BIONIC IMPLANTS
Future bully, Griff Tannen’s, muscle-enhancing bionic implants are a pretty close match to today’s wearable technology. And while Griff only wanted to swing his Kirk Gibson, Jr. 2000 bat harder, tech like the Samsung Gear, Fitbit Flex and the Apple Watch are wearables that exist today to make our lives better and more connected. Luckily, Griff’s hat style currently doesn’t exist.
SMART DOOR LOCKS
On this one, Back to the Future Part II nails it. Similar to the McFly family’s thumbprint recognition lock on their fictional 2015 house, smart door locks allow access without a key. From Bluetooth to touchpadcontrol, the variety of ways to lock, unlock and even grant temporary access to guests is a great addition to your connected home.
MR. FUSION
This home fusion reactor that turns household waste into enough energy to power Doc Brown’s flux capacitor—sending his DeLorean back and forth in time—isn’t quite on the market. But, small kitchen appliances that make life easier certainly are: Single-serving coffeemakers, blenders, juicers, countertop microwaves, mixers, compact refrigerators, you name it. And don’t worry — all of them require far less than 1.21 gigawatts to get the job done.
VR GLASSES
Technically, Marty’s future daughter, Marlene, is taking a phone call with her video glasses, but virtual reality glasses similar to hers are available now. Samsung’s Gear VR Glasses let you experience immersive games and movies in 3D with 360-degree visuals.
FOOD HYDRATOR
Before Food Hydrator After Food Hydrator
Okay, so maybe we can’t make full-sized pizzas from little dehydrated ones, but we can go the other way… Food dehydrators are here and help make preserving food and snacks easy. So enjoy your hydrated pizza, McFly family. All of us in the actual year 2015 are just fine with jerky, trail mix and dried fruit we make ourselves.
MOBILE PAYMENT
In the fictional world of 2015, future Marty McFly gets scammed by his coworker, Needles, to make an illegal payment on his work credit card. While the deed was nefarious, the fact that Marty could make a transaction from home makes sense today. With a credit card reader from Square, making a mobile payment through an iOS or Android device is easy.
RE-LIVE THE ENTIRE ADVENTURE
Join Marty and Doc on their adventures through time in the Back to the Future 30th Anniversary Trilogy on Blu-ray and DVD featuring an all-new bonus disc. For even more fun, check out Back to the Future: The Complete Adventures featuring all three movies, the complete animated series and a 64-page book—all in a light-up flux capacitor style package.
Thanks Best Buy for the fun update & STL Mommy!
