Ghostbusters: Afterlife

Lightning cracks from dark green clouds. People get out of a battered 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Sentinel below and look on.

One of many films whose release the continuing coronavirus pandemic affected, Afterlife is unlike the 2016 film an actual sequel to the original two 1980s Ghostbuster films, where a mother and her children in New York City inherit an Oklahoma estate, move there, and discover their connections to the Ghostbusters. Sort of lays on the fanservice a bit thick, but that's arguably one of its biggest draws, along with many shoutouts to the previous films, and I definitely enjoyed it.

I loved this movie. The call backs to the original were great, but I also loved how well done the new characters were. This was also a good example of CGI used and done well.
