Who you gonna call?
I am at the cinema to see Ghostbusters Afterlife. I recognise someone. Robin who used to work at the same club as me and a few friends. He used to come out drinking with a group of us. There was a bit of chatter amongst his group. Especially during the trailers. Two of the people were disabled so I wasn't overly annoyed. There was hardly anyone in the theatre as it was a Monday. I had this Ice Burst and a large Popcorn which I barely finished. Plenty of the rightwingers were trashing the 2016 reboot. It did pay homage to the original films. It was a good film. This film is a direct sequel to the originals. Paying homage to them and as a tribute to Harold Ramis. Starts of in a small town. Looking at the surrounding scenery it adds to the creepy factor. There would be injury and death to humans within the world of Ghostbusters. It begins with Egon Spengler running out of the mines. Something is after him. He had been living out here experimenting and trying to prevent an apocalypse. As we know that he died and his farm was left to his daughter and two children. All the equipment is there including the car. I was expecting alot judging by the trailer. McKenna Grace steals the scene as Pheobe. Definitely my favourite character. She is endearing. Has the look and mannerisms of Egon. She gets to start school. Her brother Trevor is working at a diner and he has a thing for the girl there. Finn Wolfhard is in this. He is a regular on Stranger Things where he got to dress up as a Ghostbuster in a Halloween episode and not forgetting Stephen King's IT. A young lad named Podcast is similar to Ray. Of course the original cast are present. I noticed that each young character represented the old cast in a way. Carrie Coons is the mother. Paul Rudd is the science teacher. You can see the reviews, discussion and trivia for unanswered questions. There is a major threat emerging from the mines. I would have liked to have seen a new villain. It does revisit old ones and some characters you won't see in this. Maybe a few more ghosts too. Jason Reitman is the director, writer and producer. Also the son of Ivan that was behind the original film. Good soundtrack. You will hear some familiar themes. McKenna sings one of the end credit songs. Two are two end credits scenes. Good special effects and acting. This is a nostalgia trip for the children of the 80s like myself. Also should bring in new fans. You might also like Super 8, The Goonies, E.T, Stranger Things, Ghostbusters, Eerie Indiana, Indiana Jones, Poltergeist, Paranormal Activity, IT, The X-files, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Goosebumps, Jumanji. I definitely recommend that you check out the film. Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, Logan Kim, Annie Potts, Celeste O'Connor, Bokeem Woodbine. Olivia Wilde, JK Simmons, Josh Gad are amongst the cast.
