october 21, 2015 is HERE- FUTURE to the back!

Post Reply New Topic

the day moviegoers watching Back To The Future 2 thought was in the distant future is here now, and I have some questions-
*where are our holographic billboards?
*where are our hoverboards?
*where are all the flying cars and elevated air-ways we were promised?
anybody else have any thoughts relating to this?

It was just a movie. And not all that good of a movie IMO. The second one where it takes place in the future I mean, no one seems to care about the first movie.

I watched the movie once on TV years ago, and don't remember it with much fondness. Seems they were showing it every time some other show got canceled or put on hiatus, which was like every other week.

When I was a kid in the 80's I thought by the end of the century we were going to be living like The Jetsons. Instead it's more like The Twilight Zone.

I would rather rather play the Sims 3 Into The Future, but the last time I tried to play it wouldn't run for some reason. At least Dark Helmet was accurate when he said even the future nothing works.

I can't believe I'm still around, I remember watching it back in the day [1989] and wondering what 2015 would really be like. now that I'm in it, I'm only moderately impressed.

The Cubs didn't get their win, either. Somehow I'm not surprised. It was just a movie. They had a different idea of what the world would be like in 2015 back in 1989.

not even hindsight is 20/20, and foresight is surely akin to looking through a glass but darkly. we can only extrapolate from present trends. the movie did not predict cell phones.

Happy Back to the Future Day.

Also, I voted for the ice cream option.

the 26 years came and went, and back then I would not have imagined it the way it is now, what with wars and rumors of wars. the techy part is mostly a sideshow.

Looking back 26 years, I've never imagined that there would be such a thing as the Internet. I was also hoping to see all the different gadgets that I saw in the BTTF movies. I was looking forward to owning a green hoverboard. The things that didn't happen in the movie happened and the things that happened in the movie didn't happen.

I wondered in retrospect, why the producers could not have extrapolated from star trek's communicators, to depict something in that movie's future approximating cell phones.

The news was talking about this & they said that hoverboards are being produced but not perfected & that self tying shoes are starting to come out.
