piper Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I finally watched it tonight. I got sucked in by all the callbacks and nostalgia. 3.5/5 I might round up to a 4 because I recognized some of the filming locations littered throughout Southern Alberta. Did it break new ground? Nope. Does that bother me? Not really. How did this movie pull it off and Matrix 4 did not? As an aside, I remember seeing the original as a 12 year old with my friends in the Summer of 1984. Good times. ▫️, Artboy99 and Bosco685 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoebe stole the show, and that mid credits scene was hilarious Edited January 5, 2022 by Artboy99 piper, Larryw7 and Bosco685 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good times. I just bought it on iTunes, will watch it tonight. I was 14 when I saw the original in the Summer of 84 and I’m looking forward to this.

Artboy99 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I also laughed pretty good at the mini Stay Puft marshmellow guys and their zany antics. Larryw7, piper and I like pie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
▫️ Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Forgot to follow up after watching. Ghostbusters in the 80’s were teen movies that I loved then but never really rewatched to the extent of other 80’s movies like Aliens. Afterlife is more of a kids movie than a teen movie. I thought it was a great throwback but don’t see repeated viewings in my future. Predictable ending but well done on the touching end scene. I’m glad they made it. I still can’t believe they screwed up the 2016 Ghostbusters with the great female cast they had. These ladies are hilarious (except for McCarthy, but she’s ok). That movie lacked story, charm and the camaraderie the four should have shared. But now we get a proper number 3 and you should watch it with your kids right after introducing them to the original.

Buzzetta Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) I watched an unofficial stream of a digital copy last night. I genuinely enjoyed it. It made me smile. I thought the ending and the two credits scenes were perfect. Edited February 7, 2022 by Buzzetta Bosco685 and RickSp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickSp Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Yeah I avoided reading much about this when it came out but thought the same after just watching it. An enjoyable entry and a touching end. Even the kids weren’t too annoying! Plus Paul Rudd just slots in to these sorts of films with ease.

Bosco685 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Finally got to see this with the family. Even nicer, someone gifted me the movie to keep on Digital. A really fun time with loads of nostalgia. Especially those last 25-30 minutes and the credit scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 2.63X production budget is not a bad place to be for a film that was not pushed wider on the international market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
