Small tweaks make ‘Back to the Future Part II’ look more like today (pictures)

In the 1989 movie “Back to the Future Part II,” lead character Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) travels into the future and arrives on October 21, 2015. To get in on all the Back to the Future Day action, tool part purveyor MMToolParts.com created a series of stills from the movie, adjusting them ever so slightly to match up with the real 2015. They’ve shared the shots exclusively with CNET’s Crave blog, and now we’re sharing them with you.

Here, we see that the movie got the idea absolutely right about large flat-screen TVs that could hang on walls. But the content has been fixed to show a much more likely display — Netflix. If the streaming service existed back then, wonder if McFly would have stopped to binge-watch “Breaking Bad?”
