Ghostbusters: Afterlife

When single mom Callie and her two kids Trevor and Phoebe arrive in a small Oklahoma town, they begin to discover their connection to the original Ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife landed in a genuinely divided space — audiences embraced it far more warmly than critics did, exposing a gap between fan satisfaction and critical skepticism. Supporters found it a charming, character-driven reboot that honors the original with affection; detractors argued that affection curdles into hollow nostalgia-bait, leaving little room for the film to develop its own identity or humor. The central argument is really about whether lovingly engineered fanservice is enough.
