The pacing is right, the story is right, the characters are right, and the level of Summoning the Spirit: Making Ghostbusters: Afterlife– Director Jason Reitman gives us the deep dive on the film, its legacy, how and why it was made and essentially gives us all we need to know in this segment. Most all of the supplements, aside from a few trailers, are located on the Blu-ray disc. It seems that as technologically advanced as we are, we’re either unable or unwilling to put all the extras on one disc.

We Got One! Easter Eggs Revealed– Essentially a look at all the references found in the film, some obvious and others…not so much. There’s a lot done right in this one. 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?terrific, and they get to act and have fun, not just wait around for the next brain-dead gag.

In listening to the Dolby Atmos mix I found it to be of the active variety that made steady use of the platform. Its use of sounds placed above is a mix of atmospherics and discrete effects.

Over the course of the film there are various sequences (such as the one where Phoebe and Podcast encounter the blue ghost/blob in the abandoned factory, followed by the chase through town) where environmental sounds, music cues and discrete objects are mixed to differing locations in the sound field, adding a head turning element to the viewing experience.a recent watch of, the original film is a must, not only to get a grasp on how this plot connects to that plot but to marvel at how well young star

In the sequel, 'Ghostbusters 2' (1989), the Ghostbusters are struggling to get work as they find themselves being sued by municipal authorities. When a physical embodiment of evil is discovered lurking beneath the city, however, their services are once again required. In 'Ghostbusters' (1984), after their scholastic grant is withdrawn, New York parapsychologists Peter Venkman (Murray), Raymond Stanz (Aykroyd) and Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) decide to go into business as Ghostbusters. Initially scorned, the trio become celebrities after ridding a hotel of a troublesome ghoul and are called in by musician Dana Barrett (Sigourney Weaver) when she experiences strange disturbances in her Central Park apartment. Special Effects: The Ghosts of Afterlife (1080p, 6:29): Exploring the film's new ghost as well as some returning characters: 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. cognizant to build on that success rather than supplant it or, worse redefine it.
