Saw Back to the Future Part III, the western one. It was a jolly little film, wrapping up the series with little lessons and check-box-ticking. It feels a little pedantic sometimes, as it gets into the details of how exactly they jumped forward and backward in time. Those moments felt less like a story and more like watching someone finish a Sudoku puzzle, but thankfully these moments are brief. The rest of the film is Marty and the Doc running about, creating ice and shooting bad guys. The film is jolly, like I say.
I don't have that much to say here. The film was entertaining. I liked how dirty the wild west was even as it was perhaps sanitized and romanticized. I would have like to see someone suffering from scurvy or diphtheria or something. Also it's a damn lucky thing both Marty & Doc are white males. I wonder what the film would have been like if Doc Brown were black? Anyway, this is clearly not that kind of film. Rather, it's the fluffy entertaining kind and in that endeavor it succeeds admirably. A fun little film.
