@@gokaury Saw that trailer. Not sure Asymmetrical will work for Ghostbusters. I'm interested to see it in action. Still, I think they should have just made a sequel to the previous Video Game. In my opinion, Ghostbusters works far better as a Narrative Experience than a Versus Game.

Well they said that got the CGI of Egon absolutely100% perfect before they even tried to age the character.

[@stephw1702]

It was also important to them that they got the approval of Harold's family before using it.

[@DEATH111183]

Also, the body actor who plays Egon was supposed to be the man who voiced the character for the animated series "The Real Ghostbusters" who was a friend of the Ramis family

[@StCerberusEngel]

When the credits began and the theme started in the theater, everyone, myself included were singing along. One of the best theater experiences I've had.

[@mycroft16]

My theater nearly lost its mind when the proton pack powered on for the first time... that sound, shivers. And then again when Ecto 1 floored it, sirens blaring.

[@ListerDavid]

This film hits me so hard in the feels every time, My eyes keep leaking this clear liquid when I watch Afterlife or listen to the soundtrack. It’s the perfect Goodbye and Thank you to both Harold and Egon. Went a saw this twice on the big screen, I was instantly back to being a kid again.

Me too. This movie WRECKS ME hard! But in a good way.

[@marcradar24joubert]

Same thing, saw it twice, second time with my parents who got me hooked on Ghostbusters. I honestly kept thinking my dad would point out nine or ten small details that I missed the first time around. Between the phone call and the ending I'm a mess every time I see it.

Seen it with my 16yo daughter...late december after aw the bs we endured all the lockdowns and for that night it felt actual magical..i have never had such an emotive cinema experience...ever..it just felt.... good... the whole vibe of the night was amazing... be doing it again 23rd dec this year.. am so biased being such a fan of GB but i honestly think Aftetlife is watershed... even for that scene.... that was... summin.

[@Evasion381]

Yea I heard the story recently about Bill and Harold falling out for years, when Harold was on his death bed Bill raced to his home town and walked into the police station to ask for help finding his friend. I'm glad they got to talk one last time

They were THE defining heroes of my childhood and they are still now. And yes, Sony is working on another movie, since it was a pretty good hit. Can only hope they bring Mckenna Grace back, who was the clear MVP of this one. The song, "Haunted House, btw.? That was also her!

This was the kind of Ghostbusters we needed, even after Harold Ramis passed, we knew that a 3rd wouldn't work..but they definitely did with this movie, and was amazing.

I love how people who know the two original movies, when they first show an "unknown" device we immediately know it's a ghost trap and if we actually saw it IRL we would say "ghost trap" even though we know it's just a prop. Ghost Busters is part of the lexicon.

@Mary Cherry I went to see Ghostbusters Afterlife in the cinema, so many memories and references of the 1984 original in it!! I got chills when Trevor uncovered Ecto-1, when Phoebe fired up grandad's proton pack (btw that IS Harold Ramis/Egon Spengler's ACTUAL pack from the original movie!)

[@MrBobsathlon2]

It's creaky and overplays throwbacks to the original movie. Having said that, I still love it . A truly worthy sequel. I saw it several times at the theater. Each time, not a dry eye at the end.

[@bobbwc7011]

Gozer the Gozerian was a great antagonist, and it was a good choice to bring the character back, plus expanding the part and powers. They cast Gozer perfectly with Olivia Wilde.

There is a line in the original movie from the Keymaster where he states that Gozer has come to Earth multiple times in the past. The original movie also referenced the Tunguska Blast which is one of the dates on the wall in the Gozer temple. The Ghostbusters didn't catch Gozer in the first movie too, they just pushed it back into it's own dimension. All of that is why I'm fine with them using Gozer in this movie. The original movie left it open for Gozer to return.

[@Caseytify]

On watching it again; yes, that's Olivia Wilde. When Venkman tells Egon "I miss you," there's special poignancy. Murray was quite upset with Ramis with how the latter directed Groundhog Day. Murray didn't talk to him until shortly before Ramis' death, when they reconciled. I don't doubt Murry wishes he hadn't waited so long. It's not obvious, but Podcast only has _one_ subscriber; Ray. When Mr. Grooberson selected ice cream at the Walmart, it was Baskin Robbins, a nice little nod to Ant-Man, when Scott Lang was fired from their store; "Baskin Robbins don't play. No, Baskin Robbins always knows." ;)

The entire ending soquence with the final battle and the reconciliation scene had turned me into an emotional mess after I left the theater. This film did all that it needed to do in my eyes.

The sincerest form of flattery, being imitation and such. I was a huge fan when I was a kid. The original movie was brand new around the same time that I was. So not only is the original around my same age, but for Halloween it was an easy costume! Plus, my name is Ray IRL and I thought it was the coolest thing to have a character named the same as i. Made it even better that he was a Ghostbusters! A treat to be sure as it's not the MOST common of names! Anyhow, it's beautiful to me to see the passion you out into your reviews. It really takes me back! Thanks for the journey down Nostalgia Lane! Keep em coming!

Id love for more movies with the new cast

[@ApacheGamer]

I apologize for the long post, but I have been a fan of Ghostbusters my whole life and have followed the cast and crew stories for years. Ivan Reitman (RIP) did the first 2 films with Harold Ramis who helped write it. They had planned a trilogy, but plans fell through and when they were ready for a third Bill Murray didn't want to do it, and Rick Moranis was taking a break due. Rick's wife tragically passed away from cancer and he wanted to be a full time Dad to his two boys. The original story for the third was used for the videogame that came out on the Wii allowing the remote to be used as the blaster. Harold Ramis passed away around that time and his story with it. That was when the remake with an all female cast was announced. The remake didn't do anywhere near as well due to severe glaring issues that didn't sit right with many fans. Shortly afterwards Jason Reitman son of Ivan Reitman began pitching the idea for Afterlife. He grew up on the set of the first 2 films and loved the franchise and felt the fans deserved a true to story sequel especially after the remake failed to capture audiences. Jason began making the new film with the original cast agreeing to do cameos with the exception of Rick Moranis who was indisposed with family issues I believe regarding his youngest son. Ivan lived long enough to see the film released and to see it become a success. He voiced in an interview how proud he was for his son to make the film and that he got to see it before he too tragically passed away early this year. A sequel to Afterlife has been announced with the new cast, and several returning legacy characters. Rick Moranis is rumored to return for that film.

i watched all your ghostbuster reviews today :) the OG ghostbusters i saw at cinema at 11 and i know your other review you laughed at effects....you can see how long it has been by there ages now - 40 years is a long time lol - its great to see this as a new look revamp with updated special effects and back in 84 i was amazed at effects in original lol...how far we have come! Frozen empire is awesome and a new storyline :) rip Harold - this was a brilliant tribute to his spirit.

My parents saw Ghostbusters in their 20s and so my brother and I were raised on both Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. While I had no disliking for the 2016 reboot, it just didn't hit the same mark as the first two whereas Afterlife felt like the perfect conclusion for the original four characters. Egon was my personal favorite of the four and I grew up to really love Harold Ramis as both a filmmaker and actor, so the way they treated his passing and honored him in this film was not only smart but unbelievably touching. I genuinely cried in the theater the moment I saw that hand appear to help Phoebe and by the time I saw the words "For Harold" appear on the screen, oh I was just a total mess of tears and sobs. On its own, Afterlife is a strong movie already but as a part of the Ghostbusters universe, it was perfect in my eyes. I was honestly happy if Afterlife was going to be the final movie in this franchise but now, I can't wait to see how they follow it up with Frozen Empire.

I’ve got my box of tissues ready.

There was also an animated series called "Ghostbusters: Extreme" which had a similar story, Egon trains a new group of kids, and they get together with the old characters to fight one last baddie. But in that one he's alive. There is also the "Ghostbusters: The Game", from 2009 which featured all the same cast members as the original Ghostbusters. It was the last time all 5 got together. It even had Peck, and the Mayor, I think....

[@JB0071051982]

Yes, Walter Peck does appear in Ghostbusters: The Video Game and Bill Murray's real life brother Brian Doyle Murray voices the new Mayor of New York.

This movie is the TRUE Ghostbusters 3 I have been waiting for my whole life. Jason Reitman did his father (who wrote and directed the first 2 ghostbuster’s movies) proud. I went into the theater thinking that this would be a fun B grade movie and like everyone else in that packed IMAX left with tears of sadness and joy at how amazing this movie was. McKenna Grace as Phoebe is the absolute breakout star of this movie, she really is the true heir to Egon Spengler. And that final scene of Egon with everyone at the end made me and everyone else in that theater burst into cheers and then tears.😭😭👏🏽👏🏽

[@magusmelanie828]

The casting of Egon's granddaughter was so spot on

[@kylebrooks338]

This movie was everything to me. I’ve never left a movie theatre so happy

[@elwoodwesley9115]

Yea this movie always be a favorite along with other first 2 movies. That point Egons to his daughter n grandkids make the appearance makes me miss my dad. I watched first one with him As a young boy. Lost my dad in 2016.

[@jackattacktron1000]

[@jarekvelchek802]

[@tonyjax8454]

[@jamesheina6952]
