Bill & Ted's Tubular Adventure

Time Travel Consecution, Episode 1

The number of times I've needed that time travelling telephone box during exam season... Anyway, this was a technically solid edit, Narrative mostly made sense, although not sure what happened after Billy the Kid walked in. This looks like a pretty stupid but funny film, and the edit certainly captures that. These guys must be related to the dudes from Dude Where's Your Car. Or maybe all stoner types sound like this in film.

On a side note, big fan of the old FE logo that appears at the end, hadn't seen that one before.

Way cool, junior
Well thought out and executed “Cliff’s Notes” version of the duo’s adventures.
Perfect for school slackers who only have fifteen minutes to devote to film class.
A bit jumpy at times, but not too much so. Besides, one is literally propelled at breakneck speed to pay much attention to tiny flaws.
There is a palpable joie de vivre electricity in this edit which is infectious.
I like to imagine John Wick watching this during his more thoughtful moments.

Wayne was a good editor, and a FE asset, but I understood how the more professional world beckoned.
For the curious, Wayne’s pitch for Hitchhikers is still viewable.

A good effort at taking what amounts to "What if Doctor Who's protagonist was actually a pair of American slackers?" AKA Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and condensing it into a short film. Overall it works, but there were a couple of minor issues I couldn't help noticing - things like the new text for the title sequence not being quite the right colour, for example.

Narratively, I think it works, although it's to be expected that the film loses some of its charm by being distilled down to its core plot.

If you liked the original film, you'll almost certainly enjoy this version.

Audio/Video Quality: 9
Very nice looking.

Visual Editing: 9
Transition VisFX spilling out of the film's scope frame in the first few seconds was unpleasant to see. That aside the editing is solid.

Audio Editing: 7
Some awkwards fades, abrupt cuts and missing foley elements detract but the musical montage is loads of fun.

Narrative: 7
If you don't know the original film, a lot of things won't make sense, like the entire setup of the concept at the start. After that it's a nice slim down of the plot.

Enjoyment: 7
I don't know. The rush to get through so much plot in so little time felt like there was little room for enjoying the fun parts of the original movie. Classic comedy lines are trimmed throughout just to get to the next scene quicker.

Editing was a little rough, but a nice removal of the sillier bits to get at the heart of the story.
