Bill & Ted's Tubular Adventure

A fun short. The essence of the story and the characters are here, and that’s great. The editor did a good job condensing the film, though I wish some scenes had more breathing room. The excessive jump cuts and strange audio transitions did not help in this regard. Still, well done.

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

Totally tubular edit! This is basically the core of the film condensed into 15 minutes. It's no small feat and for the most part done seamlessly. It's hard for me to divorce myself of the source knowledge but I think this would still work and be decently funny. As a fan of the theatrical cut, this was a really fun, condensed alternate viewing. Good job!

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.
