Post 3: Back to the Future III, 1990, Directed by Robert Zemeckis

The film Back to the Future is a 1990 American renowned action adventure, Sci-Fi, and thriller escape that takes you back in time to the old west. It is the third installment of the Back to the Future trilogy. The film directed by Robert Zemeckis and stars Michael J. Fox as the films main character along side Christopher Lloyd. The film takes place immediately after the events of Back to the Future Part II. While stranded in 1955, Marty McFly discovers that his friend Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown was killed by Biff Tannen's great-grandfather Buford. Marty decides to travel to 1885 to rescue Doc and return to his own timeline.

Filming took place in both California and Arizona, and the film was released in the United States on May 25, 1990. The film was a commercial success and achieved $244.53 million at the international box office, making it the 6th highest grossing film of 1990. Fan reaction to the film was more positive than to the first sequel, with many stating that this entry to the series reflected the original better than Part II. Critics also gave Part III better reviews than Part II, which had been met with mostly mixed to positive reactions.

The film was also considered one of the most groundbreaking projects for industrial light and magic. Much of the digital compositions and special effects are truly remarkable and can relate to how the use of camera ready material and the different camera angles shown work with the films composition. The rule of thirds was shown a lot within the film as it helped establish depth and movement. As the film tends to be Sci-Fi, there was quiet a lot of drama and acts of violence that can be seen in many western films.
