When I've finished it, I considered it Weak (2-), but after thinking about the whole story, I realised it's worse than I've first thought. It didn't bring anything new to the table. However, as a sequel to the originals, I find it Bad (1 out of 3 points), as it doesn't really build on them, it just repeats the same beats, without any further thoughts, and adds problematic elements.Įnjoyment: Bad (1 out of 3 points). Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a watchable film, but not very good. It's still better though than Ghostbusters (2016). I was not satisfied with Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021). Is this movie worth anything? Probably only for nostalgic reasons.

As a sequel to Ghostbusters, it's unneccessary, but harmless, that I think only avid fans of the series might appreciate. Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a watchable contemporary fantasy movie. It's probably more enjoyable if you haven't seen the previous movies, but then in the beginning there are parts you won't understand. I don't know for whom is this movie intended for. The good parts are the old themes, but the new music is at least not intrusive. It's only the daughter (played by Mckenna Grace), who either got lucky with a good director, or put some effort into making her character interesting. The characters are just stereotypes, without any further thoughts about their personality. It's not very interesting visually, the only interesting parts are the sets and props we have already seen in the first movie. Then, there are lame close-ups on merchandising opportunities, that ruin the previous shot.
I like it that they don't rush the story, the creators took their time to set up the characters and the setting, although it could have been done more efficiently. There are plenty of major problems with the story, both internally and dramatically. There are no character arcs, every character is at the peak of their abilities (even the teenagers). The story is not consistent - it goes from straight horror, through family drama to horror parody, and it doesn't feel like an organic mix.
The story is mediocre, mostly just repeating the plot of Ghostbusters (1984). The Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie is about a family inheriting an ominous legacy, leading them to confront otherworldly creatures. I've seen all of the previous movies, and I liked the first two. When it came out, I was still a little bit afraid, but when a friend said she's about to go watching it, I've decided to join her. When I've seen the trailer, it reassured me a little, that it might be a watchable movie. I knew they were going to make a sequel to the old series, abandoning the reboot, but I wasn't very excited, fearing something like the all-female Ghostbusters movie that was terrible. * * * Review (spoiler-free) - Ghostbusters: Afterlife, movie (2021) Image © Columbia Pictures (Sony) & BRON Creative U.S.A.
