Ghostbusters: Afterlife crosses the streams between franchise revival and exercise in nostalgia -- and this time around, the bustin' mostly feels good.

A great cast, a fast-paced story, and tons of callbacks to the original movies make Ghostbusters: Afterlife fun for fans of the franchise.

'Ghostbusters: Afterlife' is a nostalgic sequel with mixed reactions. Fans love the original cast's return and franchise homage. Critics find it derivative, lacking originality, and overly reliant on fan service. New characters receive varied responses; some praise performances, others find them unengaging. Visual and practical effects are generally lauded, though some desire more spookiness. Pacing and plot structure draw mixed feedback, with some finding it engaging and others feeling it drags or rushes. Overall, it's an enjoyable yet flawed addition.
