Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a direct sequel to earlier franchises 'Ghostbusters' in 1984 and 'Ghostbusters II' in 1989. The new comedy fantasy film passes the torch to the younger generation and gives a feeling of nostalgia.
The film cast Carrie Coon who plays the role of mother, Mckenna Grace and Fin Wolfhard appears as the two kids of Carrie. Other cast members included the returning faces from the main 1984 Ghostbusters Annie Potts, Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.
The faces that created the new generation of Ghostbusters are Logan Kim, Tracy Letts, Paul Rudd, Bokeem Woodbine and J.K Simmons. The third franchise is made after 32 years of Ghostbusters II.
The main story of 'Ghostbusters: Afterlife' revolves around the mother and her two kids settling in the new town and discovering their connection with the original Ghostbusters squad. The trio also found the unknown secret inherited legacy that their grandfather Ramis Egon Spengler had left behind.
The director Jason Reitman has trout out all the famous dialogues, characters, laughing elements and emotions from the 1984 original Ghostbusters directed by his father Ivan Reitman who is now the producer. The film depicted the late Harold Ramis towards the end which seems to be cringe-worthy.
