The Plot
Gravity Falls: Revenge of the Cipher is set five years after the events of Gravity Falls and Dipper and Mabel are both 18 years old and are returning to Gravity Falls for the summer. Both Stan and Ford have returned to Gravity Falls as well and they work with Soos as co-owners of the Mystery Shack. During this time Stan reveals to Ford that he gets visions of Bill Cipher, in order to help his brother, Ford constructs a machine to watch Stan's memories of Bill Cipher and becomes horrified when he discovers Bill's final spell and that he isn't fully destroyed and can be resurrected at any time.

While this is happening, The new employee of the Mystery Shack named Logan discovers the petrified body of Bill Cipher and accidentally becomes the new host of Bill Cipher, who plans to restart Weirdmageddon by persuading the elder gods to create an army of the most dangerous creatures known to humanity so that they can destroy the universe and then start a new one. However, Bill's intentions are against the elder gods as he wants to destroy the universe for the sake of nihilistic chaos whereas the gods believe in the natural cycle of death and birth.

It's up to Dipper, Mabel, Stan, Ford, McGucket, Soos, Wendy, Gideon, Pacifica and Robbie to permanently stop Bill and prevent the destruction of the universe and to save their very existence.

In an extended ending, Ford Pines sees all the Bill Cipher's things, he proclaims that "Bill Cipher betrayed us!" and destroy all his Bill Cipher merchandise and sadly vows revenge on him.

 * Soos:  Soos improved on his business skills through Stan's training. He soon gathered enough money to buy a ring to propose to Melody, who soon became pregnant with his first-born son.

Trivia

 * Mabel's fear of Stan and Ford dying references the fandom reaction towards the end of Gravity Falls and how they want to have an endless amount of seasons of the show.
 * The reason why Bill is noticeably weaker in the movie is because his physical form was heavily damaged after Stan had destroyed Bill's astral form and the spell Bill used in Weirdmageddon was a last resort attempt to resurrect himself. But, since he was in Stan's mind Bill had to secretly leave particles of himself in Logan's mind via astral projection. When Logan held Bills physical hand, Bill was able to reconstruct himself and possess Logan's body but his powers are limited because of the transfer.
 * Dipper's discussion with Mabel about Pacifica references the events of Northwest Mansion Mystery as well the shipping that came after.
 * Wendy mentioning the Weirdness magnetism when the group discovers that the elder gods live in different locations references the fact that the magnet attracts all sorts of weird creatures and beings to Gravity Falls.
 * The names of the elder gods are Latin, Ipsum is Latin for smart, Fortitudo is Latin for strength and Anima is Latin for soul.
 * Logan's lack of awareness towards Bill is because of the 'nevermind all that act' which prevents the townsfolk from speaking about weirdmageddon. Logan is also new to the town and is only hired to work in the shack to fill Wendy's work shifts at the Shack.
