Ghostbusters: Afterlife
[Opens Nov. 17 in theaters.] When a broke mother (Carrie Coon) is evicted and reluctantly moves with her two precocious children (McKenna Grace and Finn Wolfhard) after inheriting a remote, rundown house in a small town from her estranged, hermit-like, ghost-hunting father in Oklahoma in Jason Reitman's entertaining, convoluted, action-packed, well-paced, predictable, star-studded (Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, Tracy Letts, Josh Gad, Bokeem Woodbine, Olivier Cooper, Marlon Kazadi, Sydney Mae Diaz, Gregg Turkington, Bud Klasky, C. J. Collard, and Faith Louissaint) thriller, which is a sequel to the 1984 Ghostbusters and marred by a disappointing climax, her smart and savvy daughter, a podcast-loving classmate (Logan Kim), and her mechanically inclined brother smitten with a teenage waitress (Celeste O'Connor) use ghostbusting gadgets to investigate paranormal activity and join up with their seismologist, science teacher (Paul Rudd) to look into unusual seismic activity near an old mine once owned by an occultist.
