“Volver al futuro” regresando a los cines para el 40 aniversario

by

¡Tidbit intrigante para ti! Si volviera al futuro hoy y Marty viajó 30 años al pasado, aterrizaría en 1995, diez años completos después de que la película inicialmente se estrenó en los cines. Además, ahora estamos más de una década más allá del futuro retratado en el futuro Parte II, pero parece que ni los autos voladores ni los hoverboards son comunes.

Gran Scott, de hecho.

2025 señala el año 40 desde el debut del icónico “Back to the Future“, y en celebración, Universal Studios está trayendo la película para honrar este hito. ¡Mira el último trailer de este clásico atemporal!

También hay un póster muy guapo para el relanzamiento.

¡Como entusiasta del cine, no puedo evitar entusiasmarme con las próximas proyecciones del 40 aniversario! No solo estarán sucediendo, sino que también estarán disponibles en formatos premium como Dolby Cinema, 4DX y D-Box. ¡Y déjame decirte que la acción 4DX DeLorean me suena absolutamente emocionante!

No es necesario señalar, pero también hay un próximo set de 40 aniversario de la trilogía “Back to the Future” para este otoño. Además del contenido de archivo publicado anteriormente, esta nueva colección ofrece aproximadamente 90 minutos de características frescas, como una entrevista con el cocreador Bob Gale, un panel de discusión del TCM Classic Film Festival, un documental que traza la búsqueda de la guitarra Gibson utilizada por Michael J. Fox en la escena de baile, y un relato de historias no contadas detrás de las escenas, compartidas por los miembros del elenco y la tripulación.

Lanzada originalmente en 1985, la película clásica “Back to the Future”, protagonizada por Michael J. Fox y Christopher Lloyd, dirigida por Robert Zemeckis y producida por Steven Spielberg, se ha convertido en una de las películas más apreciadas de la década de 1980 con el tiempo. Después de su éxito, generó dos secuelas, y más recientemente, una adaptación musical de Broadway. Sin embargo, los directores Robert Zemeckis y Bob Gale han rechazado constantemente la idea de una cuarta película de la serie. Pero, ¿por qué no echar otro vistazo a la obra maestra original en la pantalla grande?

El 31 de octubre, Back to the Future volverá a los cines. Los boletos para esta repetición especial ya están disponibles. Además, a partir del 14 de octubre, puede tener una caja conmemorativa para celebrar su 40 aniversario.

Películas de los años 80 que tienen buenas críticas que en realidad son malas

Fuera de África (1985)

Fuera de África (1985): un ganador de la Mejor Película visualmente impresionante pero dramáticamente deslucido

De todos los ganadores de la Mejor Película del Premio de la Academia, es innegable que la película lanzada en 1985 no es otra que “Fuera de África”. Protagonizada por Meryl Streep y Robert Redford, esta película se basa en eventos tomados libremente del libro de no ficción de Karen Blixen. En la película, Streep retrata a Blixen como una mujer danesa que se muda a Nairobi para establecer una granja, luego se envía en una aventura con un gran juego de juegos (Redford).

Aunque visualmente cautivadora, la película desafortunadamente se queda corto en términos de impacto dramático. Inicialmente aclamado por los críticos durante su lanzamiento, la popularidad de la película ha disminuido con el tiempo, reflejado en una disminución en el consenso crítico. Las revisiones retrospectivas sobre Rotten Tomatoes han sido menos que entusiastas, lo que resulta en una puntuación revisada de 62 para esta producción ganadora del Oscar.

The Big Chill (1983)

Inicialmente lanzado en 1983, “The Big Chill” fue visto como un momento cultural definitorio, que encarna los sentimientos de descontento y mortalidad que enfrentan los baby boomers. Sin embargo, con retrospectiva, su representación de la socialización de Boomers parece más un artefacto obsoleto del pasado.

Presentado por primera vez en 1983, “The Big Chill” fue reconocido como un símbolo cultural significativo, que representa el descontento y las luchas de mortalidad que enfrentan los baby boomers. Aunque puede haber resonado profundamente entonces, su representación de la camaradería Boomer ahora parece más una reliquia del pasado que una narrativa identificable.

For Your Eyes Only (1981)

Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 69
The quality of Roger Moore’s James Bond performances is such that even a film like this, featuring a ski chase with a motorcycle on a bobsled track and Margaret Thatcher conversing with a parrot, is considered his more serious role. However, I find the term “serious” to be misleading; For Your Eyes Only feels more perfunctory than extraordinary. It doesn’t reach the intensity of classic Sean Connery or Daniel Craig Bond films nor does it possess the over-the-top flair of Moore’s most extravagant outings. The villain, gadgets, sidekicks, female leads, and plot are all rather forgettable, as is the storyline about a stolen missile launcher. Upon its release, it was praised as a comeback, but today many Bond fans consider it Moore’s most underrated film; personally, I respectfully disagree.

Revenge of the Nerds (1984)

Review Score: 70
Despite its enduring popularity as a comedy, this film exhibits an unexpectedly harsh undertone for a story intended to depict mistreated outsiders. It contains offensive jokes about homosexuality and racism, along with a plotline where a nerd fraternity retaliates against a sorority by invading their home and spying on them through hidden cameras. The climax involves the leader of the nerds deceiving a popular girl into believing he is her boyfriend, and then having sex with her under false pretenses. Remarkably, she falls in love with him, oblivious to his duplicity.
A remake was initiated in the mid-2000s, but it never materialized as production was halted just before filming began. The reason may be that this movie can only be relevant in the 21st century if it undergoes a gritty reboot, critiquing the idea that nerds deserve love, fame, and success merely because they faced bullying from popular jocks.

Tron (1982)

Tron’s Rating on Rotten Tomatoes: 74
Although Tron abounds with intriguing concepts and aesthetics, it often delivers films that look great, sound fantastic, but have middling narratives. Initially, critics were captivated by its stunning visuals, overlooking the film’s more significant flaws. However, as time has passed and its pioneering special effects have been eclipsed numerous times, it becomes harder not to notice these shortcomings.

The Goonies (1985)

The Goonies’ Enduring Nostalgia vs Modern Appraisal

With a Rotten Tomatoes Score of 77, The Goonies continues to be an endearing ’80s classic for many. However, it’s likely that not many have revisited this film in the last few years or decades. Despite its young cast featuring future stars and impressive production design, it seems that among all the fantastical universes Steven Spielberg helped create during his 1980s director/producer tenure, The Goonies appears to be the one that has aged less gracefully. Or perhaps, I’ve become a grumpier adult, finding myself more resonating with the stern adults in The Goonies rather than the energetic kids (Remember, kids, keep away from that rusty metal to avoid tetanus!).

One saving grace is the inclusion of Cyndi Lauper’s song, which remains enjoyable.

Licence to Kill (1989)

Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 79
In Timothy Dalton’s second portrayal of James Bond, the film takes an unconventional turn. Instead of being a clandestine agent, Bond operates as a freelancer for most of the movie. After his friend Felix Leiter (David Hedison) is severely injured by a Latin American drug lord, he decides to leave MI6 and embark on a mission of vengeance. The storyline bears more resemblance to the film Yojimbo than any of Ian Fleming’s novels; Bond maneuvers himself into the drug lord’s organization, eventually dismantling it from within. However, the film lacks the malevolent humor typically found in Kurosawa’s work or most Bond movies. The final action sequence is the standout moment; otherwise, it’s primarily people fighting over cocaine concealed inside fuel tankers. Surprisingly, it received better reviews than some of the later Bond films featuring Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.

Sixteen Candles (1984)

Title Score: 81

John Hughes was famed for creating witty, empathetic depictions of teenagers through films such as “The Breakfast Club” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” However, not all characters in his movies were treated with the same sensitivity. For instance, the film “Sixteen Candles” from today’s perspective appears questionable, featuring Long Duk Dong, a foreign exchange student who seems to embody almost every Asian stereotype known at the time. The character is even accompanied by a gong sound effect when he appears on screen. In retrospect, Molly Ringwald, the film’s star, has admitted in a “New Yorker” essay that Long Duk Dong was a “grotesque stereotype.” The essay also discussed Hughes’ films’ treatment of women and their casual use of homophobic language, characteristics that make his work notable as relics of their time rather than contemporary pieces.

Altered States (1980)

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 85
Paddy Chayefsky, the writer of Network, created this thought-provoking film about a scientist exploring humanity’s past through sensory deprivation. However, Chayefsky and director Ken Russell had creative differences, leading Chayefsky to disassociate himself from the project. Although Altered States and its unsettling visuals have a dedicated fanbase, I personally agree with Chayefsky’s viewpoint that this film is rather dull.

Driving Miss Daisy (1989)

Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 85
Not only one of the least deserving Oscar Best Picture winners, but also one of the most puzzling. It’s understandable that its unique themes (aging and long-term employment) are seldom seen in Hollywood films; perhaps this novelty was enough to impress Oscar voters in 1990. However, Driving Miss Daisy is essentially a character study, and not one with much depth. Despite the passage of 25 years, the film fails to portray the progression of its environment or characters. In one scene, Dan Aykroyd appears just as he did in 1989, and in the next he’s wearing a large gray wig.
Forget about Do the Right Thing, which wasn’t even nominated; this film is not even on par with the other four films that were up for Best Picture in 1989. (Born on the Fourth of July, Dead Poets Society, Field of Dreams, My Left Foot) Any of those movies would appear to be a more fitting choice today.

Superman II (1980)

Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 88
Audience members are so enamored with Terence Stamp and the iconic phrase “Kneel before Zod” that they overlook the movie’s chaotic structure. Even elements that shone in the original Superman, such as Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder’s sparkling chemistry, seem out of place this time around. Superman, who was once alert to danger, appears clueless in this film, failing to notice three powerful Kryptonians taking over Earth despite his superpowers like enhanced hearing, magic amnesia kisses, teleportation, and projectile chest emblems. It’s puzzling that he would miss such a conquest, given his abilities.
(Note: Both versions of the movie are less than impressive.)

This version maintains the original’s tone while making the text more accessible to readers by breaking up long sentences and simplifying some phrases.

Crocodile Dundee (1986)

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 89

In 1986, the highest-grossing film was Top Gun. Interestingly, Crocodile Dundee, which earned about $2 million less at the box office than Top Gun, outperformed several notable ’80s films such as Aliens, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Stand By Me, Rocky IV, and The Fly. This film centered around Paul Hogan portraying a hilarious character – an Aussie bushman who finds himself in the bustling city of New York City after traveling from Australia.

The movie’s humor revolved primarily around this one concept of an Australian out of his element in the U.S., and yet audiences couldn’t get enough of it, making Crocodile Dundee a massive success, transforming Paul Hogan into a global star, and leading to the expansion of the franchise. However, I can’t say for sure why this film struck such a chord with viewers.
