Our take on Ghostbusters: Afterlife

Jason Reitman's 2021 sequel shifts the franchise from the big city to a quiet Oklahoma town. When single mother Callie and her two kids, Trevor and Phoebe, move into a rundown farm, they begin to uncover their family's ties to the original Ghostbusters and the secret their late grandfather left behind. Blending adventure, comedy and fantasy, it leans on discovery, small-town atmosphere and a strong sense of inherited legacy, with the young Phoebe steering much of the sleuthing. It's a warm entry point for families and for fans nostalgic about the earlier films, best enjoyed by viewers who appreciate a character-led setup that gradually reconnects with a beloved world.
