Universal's BACK TO THE FUTURE Trilogy will make time tracks on 4K Blu-ray Combo Pack on October 20th! Thankfully, this gives you plenty of time to save for the collection or perhaps procure a Sports Almanac that will net you plenty of disposable income. Personally, I can't wait to see these classic films in a gorgeous 4K format. Plus, with so many bonus features packed into one collection, this version of the trilogy looks to be the ultimate get for any fan of the franchise.
