Critics Consensus

Back to the Future Part III draws the trilogy to a satisfying close with a simpler, sweeter round of time-travel antics.

Read Critics Reviews

Neil Jillett The Age (Australia) Inventive fun and energetic action are what count in this sort of film, and there is little of either in [Back to the Future Part III]. Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Peter Rainer Los Angeles Times It satisfyingly ties up the various plot strands that were flapping in the breeze from the last installment. Oct 21, 2015 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly The only true surprise of this movie is how lazy it is. Rated: D+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Hannah Rose CBR Marty and Doc's intergenerational friendship flies in the face of the over-emphasized generation gap that dominated most conversations about older age groups and and the youth in the 80s. Rated: 9/10 Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The most conventional of the series. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 14, 2023 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Back to the Future Part III is a return to form for a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy and a fun time in the Old West. Rated: 4/5 Jun 3, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Kaleb R its a okay movie i guess but not the best Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/25 Full Review Daniel N Whilst still highly entertaining, I believe that part 3 does not reach the same level as the first two parts. Do watch it though to complete this epic trilogy! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Obi-wan K Ovr Great trilogy Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review Brayden G It’s my least favorite its alright Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Audience Member While this is an excellent movie, it's not as good as the other two. Still the best trilogy in movie history. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Garrett B My favorite one of the trilogy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis In this final chapter, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) obtains a 70-year-old message from the time-traveling Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd), in which he informs Marty that he has retired to a small town in the Old West. Marty then finds out that the Doc was murdered shortly after sending the letter. In order to save his friend, Marty will have to travel back in time, disentangle a lovestruck Doc from a local schoolmarm, and repair the DeLorean -- all while avoiding a posse of gunslingers.
