From director Jason Reitman and producer Ivan Reitman comes the next chapter in the original Ghostbusters universe. In Ghostbusters: Afterlife, when a single mom and her two kids arrive in a small town, they begin to discover their connection to the original ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind. The film is written by Gil Kenan & Jason Reitman.

The more I watch this movie. The more I appreciate the fact that ecto-1 is the main character. Its been through it all, and you can see the change and modifications its been through.

[@tord6725]

I love her buildup. The tease in the barn at night, the uncovering of the “shitbox”. The barley field was just her getting warmed up and this chase just shows she’s still got her reliable mobility. Even more now that all the driving shots in this and firehouse are mostly practical. I mean you wouldn’t look at the Ecto-1 and think “yeah I bet she could drift around a corner at about 50mph.”

[@jamesheina6952]

As an auto mechanic I I have a knack for movie cars and ecto 1 was always on top of my list For the car itself, but the icon that it is... it represents a generation who grew up watching the movie and series the sound the color all in A car that is hard to duplicate as well Ecto 1 always has a place in my car history as one most Iconic vehicles along the original 80s batmoblie.

[@galahad6300]

I think its a common thing in some long running shows and movies. Time in that world may move on and the people may change or leave, but the vehicles will be around to connect all of it. The TARDIS, Millenium Falcon, USS Enterprise, The Mystery Machine, and Ecto-1. And many others.

Let's take a moment to praise Phoebe for handling a 1984 proton pack like a true future ghostbuster

[@mrcritical6751]

Also praise the effects artists and the directing for having it visually shown she isn’t strong enough to operate it. She can’t control the beam properly and is constantly having to anchor herself because the blast is too strong, nice touch

[@philippburnett6045]

@@mrcritical6751not really. In these scenes, she’s in the chair so she doesn’t need to anchor herself and so she can perfectly fine control the beam. I don’t see what’s the issue is

They did an awesome job with Phoebe Spengler. Normally I hate when kids have prominent roles like this in movies but she was badass.

[@ChildePC]

if they make more of these... i would watch it. kids can be the new ghost busters. a cameo can exist from either family of ghost busters as long as they made sense

I agree. On top of that, add new ghosts to the mix or new variations of old ghosts. Bing-Bang-Boom, you have another Ghostbusters movie people wanna see.

McKenna Grace is such a brilliant young actress. She really lead this film’s cast. Egon Spengler is the spirit of this film and Phoebe is the beating heart of it.

[@carlostavaresjr958]

I like how this movie showcased how powerful the proton pack is when not hitting its targets. Great force when hitting solid objects!

[@tord6725]

I love how when Jason was visualising the proton stream in use he just thought of the video game where it’s like a lasso you have to ensnare a ghost in and wrangle it down to trap it.

I rather they have their own alternate universe movie

[@Caine7ify]

See this, 2016, while not perfect; THIS is how you make a GB scene as action packed as it is comedic.

[@Supperdude9]

Instead 2016 was just political and dumb. Glad that everyone essentially got fired over it. They almost ruined the franchise, and this saved it. Me and my brother watched Ghostbusters constantly, and when we watched Afterlife, we had the time of our lives. He teared up at Egon returning.

[@handyman2233]

The 2016 one never happened....😉

[@Rizelden]

I loved the 2016 movie. It's just an alternative version.

[@tord6725]

I also just noticed that the gunner seat pack uses the OG startup noise unlike the Spengler pack

[@drewski1535]

5:38 i feel like i saw the first trapping of Slimer when that trap opened up what an amazing part

[@tord6725]

And the down pitched main theme at 4:57 (which for this film I’ve been calling it the “Spengler theme”) and the rise at 5:19 that sound like the original version but modernised adds to it. Similar was to how it’s used at the beginning where Egon drifts around Spinners and the music is lacking and oomf and is just bare bones instruments and then later after they trap the gatekeeper and do the same route in the Ecto-1 all the instrument blare out and complete what was started

[@douglassnyder9206]

Could one imagine if that gunners-seat was first introduced in the third Ghostbusters movie with the 'original' team??? With Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, & Harold Ramis (RIP). Bill Murray could have been included, but only in a small role. And either one or two new cast members would have been recruited to the Ghostbusters team.

I dont like they ignored the gb2 in this movie. He talks about marshmallow man only. They made the statue of liberty walk the streets of New York. Script is good in most ways but it has loop holes.

[@nickmcquade]

They didn’t ignore Ghostbusters 2 in Afterlife. The toaster in the farmhouse is the one used for the slime, and Ray’s Occult bookshop is shown. Jason Reitman has stated that there are story elements in the pipeline which further connect the films, but those details are currently under wraps.

[@ThePuschkin1986]

the entire chase is kinda pointless: earlier movies established that the proton beam works just like a rope, the ghost is attached to it and can't get away, one average man has the strengh to keep the ghost in place. the operator can manually adjust the beam length to pull the ghost closer, like wheeling in a fish. the moment she had the muncher they could have stopped the car and trap it with ease, instead of driving through town at 60 miles trying to position the RC trap underneath the ghost at speed...

[@JuliustheDemonicInkling]

But that would ruin the point of this scene.

[@videocommenter235]

In lore it's pointless but at the same it makes total sense.

[@ChunLiKasumi]

Actually, this scene makes perfect sense. Remember that the OG Ghostbusters weren’t there to train them properly to use their equipment, so it’s reasonable that the kids wouldn’t know that they could do what you suggested. They are just figuring it out on the fly.
