Now thatGhostbusters : Afterlifehas finally had its first screening , its viewers have gone to heaven . Or so it seems , according to the various critics who father an early look at directorJason Reitman ’s follow - upto his father ’s beloved1984 authoritative picture , and who have much nothing but courteous things to say about the film . In fact , some of them seem to be straight-out swooning after watching Afterlife ; it ’s almost as if … bust makes them feel upright .
Whether you ’re excitedly appear forward to the motion picture or are still on the fence ( and wondering what life history the dealership still has left in it ) , these early reactions are nothing but good intelligence . First , here ’s our own Germain Lussier , who noted the moving picture ’s flaws did n’t affect his overall delectation of it :
principally , it packs so much into it , there are big leaps in system of logic & plot that hold it back from really firing on every cylinder . When it work though ? Especially the kid stuff ? Damn , it figure out . Just at times , it does n’t . Overall though , I cheered , cry , & ca n’t wait to take in again
