Bíó Paradís
Hverfisgata 54 (E5) | 18:00 | Admission: 3,000 ISK
Anyone who spends their time scrolling through social media when
they should be working might get deja-vu right about now. The
"today is the day that Marty McFly arrives when he travels to the
future!" meme first appeared in 2010, when a photoshopped picture
of his time-travelling DeLorean's dashboard tricked people on a viral
scale. It happened again in 2012. But guess what! October 21st 2015
is the ACTUAL date Marty McFly went to! This is not a drill! The
future is finally here! So why not mourn 2015's lack of self-drying
jackets, hoverboards and flying cars by gorging on the whole classic
Back To The Future trilogy, shown back-to-back at Bíó Paradís? JR
Open:
Mondays-Saturdays 11:30-22:30
