In recent years, the superhero film genre has been dominating the big screens. However, there’s another movie that has been eagerly anticipated by many, and it’s not your typical superhero movie. The latest addition to the Ghostbusters franchise, Frozen Empire, recently hit theaters. It’s a sequel to the previously released Afterlife and promises to captivate the audience with its intriguing plot and exceptional cinematography. Fans have been eagerly waiting for more details about the film’s storyline and the new threat that the Ghostbusters will face. Interestingly, the short teaser revealed the beloved ghost, Slimer, making an appearance.
The movie opens with the descendants of Egon Spangler and their friends facing unusual entities. The Mayor of New York, as expected in some Ghostbusters movies, attempts to shut down their operation. A new character is introduced who summons an icy ghost, adding to the Ghostbusters’ mystery and challenge. Within the plot of the film, the characters offer some humorous moments, serving as a reminder to the viewers that not everything has to be taken seriously. Some online theorists speculate about the type of ghost that the Ghostbusters are fighting, or whether they’re just made up by the show’s writers.
While the movie had a lot of potential and initially showed great promise, it has become apparent that the Ghostbusters franchise has run its course. It would have been more fitting if it had concluded with the installment titled Afterlife as that movie provided a fitting conclusion for both long-time fans of the franchise and those who first watched it when they were younger. At this point, making more movies will only make the first one less special and the whole series less important. Only time will tell whether the filmmakers will decide to keep the franchise alive or let it rest in peace.
