Bryan Reesman: 'Ghostbusters: Afterlife' delivers the goods in the spirit of the classic original by balancing the spooky and the kooky.
Directed by Jason Reitman, the Oscar-nominated director of “Juno” and “Up In The Air” and the son of original “Ghostbusters” director Ivan Reitman , “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” out Friday, finally delivers the sequel that longtime fans deserve. During ain early October, the audience was elated by a new tale that also featured cameo appearances by all of the surviving cast members.
It delivers the goods in the spirit of the classic original by balancing the spooky and the kooky, offering distinct new characters, meeting kids and adults halfway on humor, and giving us a younger spin on the concept. In the ’80s, the Ghostbusters became nerd icons with an anti-establishment bent. Nerd culture is now ubiquitous, but the Ghostbusters’ outsider status remains in this small town story as, in the film, it shows that their old exploits have been mocked by many.
Meanwhile, Trevor uncovers the clunky Ghostbusters car Ecto-1 and tunes it up. A nearby mountain with an abandoned mine houses supernatural secrets and sinister spectres that generate regular tremors and threaten their rural town in the way that Manhattan was in the earlier movies. Soon, the young Spenglers, joined by their new friends Podcast and Lucky , get caught up in trying to stop an ancient evil from overtaking the world.
