4K UHD Review - Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey

B13

Despite some rough edges, 1989's "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" is generally a sweet and positive tale of teenagers receiving the time-travel education of their lives. It's a brightly performed and superbly crafted comedy, having great fun with dumb guy humor and slapstick mayhem, with stars Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter perfectly cast as the eponymous adventurers through the Circuits of Time. The movie became an unexpected hit, and work on a sequel soon began. However, instead of a simple rehash where Bill and Ted meet more historical figures in their quest to graduate high school, co-writers Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson elect to use their follow-up to make perhaps one of the strangest sequels of all time. 1991's "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" has no interest in lining up with franchise expectations, going gonzo with its offering of afterlife survival, evil robots, and an adventure with Death, creating a thrilling study of filmmaking creativity and daredevil storytelling.
