The day has finally arrived my fellow Back to the Future lovers! October 21st, 2015 is the date that Doc, Marty, and Jennifer traveled to when they went to the future to try to prevent Marty’s son from being arrested. That movie was made a near 40 years ago, so the question is did the film makers get 2015 correct?
Back to the Future’s Vision of This Year
Well the infamous date of October 21st, 2015, which is the date that they traveled to, has finally arrived. For those of us that remember, in the second part of Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future, Doc Brown had traveled to 2015 to see what the future held. He came back to tell Marty that something terribly wrong was going to happen to his future son and that they had to travel to the future to stop it. So how exactly did the makers of Back to the Future interpret what 2015 would be?
In their version of 2015 a lot of cool and innovative things were happening. The biggest aspect of Back to the Future’s 2015 was the fact that there were flying cars. The highway was in the sky and all of the cars traveled via flight. There was also the life-like shark hologram that came down and virtually attacked Marty, Marty’s jacket and shoes that automatically adjusted to his size, and that awesome frozen bite-size pizza that Marty’s mom put into the microwave that turned into a full-size large pizza. The biggest feature of Back to the Future’s version of 2015, however, is the way they portray their automobiles, but unfortunately they were not quite on point.
The Real 2015
Oh, Back to the Future, how everyone only wished you would have gotten it right. It is safe to say that the world has not yet seen the breakthrough of flying vehicles and flying taxi cabs! Will that revelation ever happen? With the way technology adapts and innovates, it is quite possible that maybe in 40 more years that the world will indeed see the dream of flying automobiles.
The other cool aspects thrown into Back to the Future’s 2015, the hologram, jacket, and pizza, are probably not to far fetched because though they’re not seen today, they are all definitely possible.
One could honestly say that the real version of 2015 is really dull and boring compared to what Back to the Future’s 2015 consisted of. I mean how cool would it be to have flying vehicles in the world today?
