The picture refuses to dabble, never mind swim, in nonsensical stabs at needless humor. That is not to say the film is humorless, but Ghostbusters: Afterlife is the end product of literally decades of effort to return the fan-favorite Ghostbusters franchise to the big had much of a relationship with him, and neither have her children.

Whilst not quite ranking up there with the likes of Doctor Sleep and Blade Runner 2049 in terms of near-flawless decades-later sequels, Afterlife hits a lot of the right notes.Ghostbusters: Afterlife isn't steeped in sensory overload, instead delivering a surprisingly rustic, rural setting with wide open ranges and vistas. It's a very different look from 80's NYC (undoubtedly a controversial change in and of itself) but it allows the film to arguably better tread the line between the original adventures and this modern instalment as, despite being set in the present time, the setting is more sympathetic towards an old school adventure (c.f. the blandly modern streets of Matrix: Resurrections). The 4K makes the most of these wider shots, absorbing cloud detail and landscape nuances, with a very lived-in feel to the whole environment (that house is a character in and of itself), and a balanced, natural colour scheme that gifts a richness to the brown-dominated scenery, seeking to enhance it rather than make it otherworldly with pop. There is an intentional diffused look to the film in some places, so sharp details don’t always pop, but close-ups, middle shots, and some establishing shots look fantastic. When it counts most, facial features, Ghostbuster uniforms, and some fun practical monster effects really come to life with the full range of details.

It’s a far cry from the 2016 version which seemed to try to make more of a statement than an entertaining film. If you could change the locale of the original film and move it to the mid-west, this is most likely what you’d get. Director Jason Reitman has taken the reins from his father, Ivan, who helmed the original. And Reitman has helmed a few good films in his burgeoning career, notably Up in the Air, The Front Runner and Young Adult. In short, Ghostbusters: Afterlife gives fans more of what they want (or wanted), but also manages to spin things in a new direction. And with the critical and commercial success of the film, don’t be too surprised if there’s another one in the near future. Video: How’s it look?
