„BACK to the FUTURE” … FEVER is ON in BUDAPEST!

Never-the-less 30 years just flipped away and we are currently living in 2015., without Marty’s  magical hoverboard, nor ain’t high up the flying cars … not to mention as Dr. Brown says …”Where we are going there are no roads” so have to come down on earth and still do it the hard way in driving or sucked in a traffic jam.

Anyway, was a great journey „Back To the Future”,  to the Corvin Cinema (Corvin mozi)  on October, 16. 2015. whereas in front of the cinema stood the magical DeLorean DMC12 vehicle, but  in 2015 it does not need the 1.21 gigawatts anymore and therefore will not take any passengers Back to the Future. The oldie Volkswagen made van was parking without any bad lad, but surely was a reminder of the race in the movie. Inside the cinema hall was quicky exhibition and by this time in history, technology had progressed as much during the 30 years since 1985 as it had during the previous 30 years from 1955 to 1985. Electronics were in virtually everything from clothing to garbage cans to make them move, talk or make those electronic noises. These and other items seen in the movie was out on display so  families, folks of all age and kids were able throughout the day visiting the venue.

Enjoy the slides.
