Critics Consensus

Ghostbusters: Afterlife crosses the streams between franchise revival and exercise in nostalgia -- and this time around, the bustin' mostly feels good.

[It] relaunches the franchise with a mostly funny and solid offering. Hearkening to the great movies of the 80s, this film follows a group of very capable and hilarious kids who save the world from destruction.

It has its moments... but they don't make up for a general flat-footedness and tendency to wobble.

There needs to be more than fan service to justify the return of popular characters, but 'Ghostbusters: Afterlife' only seems to be interested in capitalizing on nostalgia instead of celebrating it.

The end result seems all the more anti-climactic because the story had started so brightly.

It’s a film that unwittingly says so much about where we are as consumers of pop culture, and that portrait is painfully depressing.
