"Great Scott!" Back to the Future 40th Anniversary 4K Is Here!
The best time-travel trilogy looks sharper than ever — a timeless upgrade for newcomers.
“Great Scott!” The Back to the Future trilogy celebrates its 40th anniversary with a brand-new 4K UHD release, and Izola has thoughts. She breaks down whether this edition is worth picking up if you already own the 2020 4K set — or if it’s finally time to add it to your collection.
This new release includes 90 minutes of never-before-seen bonus features, including “Reflecting on the Future,” “Back to Hill Valley,” and a TCM Film Festival panel with Bob Gale, Michael J. Fox, and Lea Thompson. Izola discusses the video clarity, Dolby Atmos mix, and overall collector value for long-time fans and first-time buyers alike.

ABOUT BACK TO THE FUTURE
Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is a typical 1980s teenager—until an experiment by his eccentric friend Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) accidentally sends him thirty years into the past. Stranded in 1955 without enough plutonium to return home, Marty must track down the younger Doc and find a way back to the future before he changes history forever.
But when he accidentally disrupts his parents' first meeting, Marty becomes his own biggest problem. Racing against time and paradox, he must set the timeline straight, get his mom to fall for his dad instead of him, and hit 88 miles per hour at precisely the right moment. Back to the Future blends sci-fi spectacle, humor, and heart into one of the most beloved films ever made.
