While this final installment of the film series does not have quite the kick of the first film, it does tie things together in a nice bow. In order to enjoy these films, your senses of time and of flight have to be a little strange anyhow.
Mary SturgenBerger heads a fine cast of support in moving the series into the old west. Even Pat Buttrum shows up in a limited support role. The film is still carried by Christopher Lloyd & Michael J Fox but they are supported by a solid cast and a storyline which makes use of every talent in the film.
It is a credit to Clint Eastwood that he is secure enough in his life to allow his name to be used for some tung in cheek humor here. A film sequence of Eastwoods shows up in Part 2 so it is entirely logical for him to show up here including the reuse of the sequence in the second film in this movie.
The effects people go to town here working on the railroad. The opening sequence at the 1950's style drive in theater is a clever setting too. Visually this film is very well done. This film is the longest in the series and almost gets too long, but it has to be to develop a story which supposedly ends this saga once and for all.
It does leave one opening, a story with Doc Browns time traveling kids. Some clever use of naming them after a science fiction author leaves open a plot line using them as a basis. I doubt that they intend to do such a film.
