How many infographics do you know of that say "November 8, 1955: Marty invents the skateboard"?
Well, if you live in the UK and want to celebrate BttF's silver jubilee in the best way possible you'll get your chance as theaters across that nation are planning to show the film on the big screen once again starting October 1. Heck, they've even gone through the trouble of designing/tweaking a new poster from the original iconic image of a young, panic-stricken Michael J. Fox checking his watch and stepping into his stainless steel time steed.
Speaking of design, British graphic designer Sean Mort has put together a fantastic infographic showing all the different timelines from the trilogy. I had no idea there were seven different timelines at work in that movie. For degree of complication it's no Primer, but I'll be damned if I trade in BttF as the greatest time travel movie of all time.
Check out both the new poster and the infographic after the jump.
Timeline 9 was created when Doc, Clara, and the kids go back to see Marty and Jennifer in 1985. While this may not made a drastic change it still would have made the 2010 they visited to upgrade the train non-existant because they changed the past when they went to 1985.
Any news on what cinemas will be showing the film? Would be great if the larger franchise cinemas got in on this because that is the closest and most easily accessible to me!
And it reminds me of the single weirdest time travel idea ever. Leave your girlfriend on this crack house porch, when she wakes up she will be in her own time line with no memory of any of this.
