[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 351470, member: 5079"] I watched this one recently. I don't have anywhere near the nostalgia for the original that some do, but it's a good enough movie for me to watch every few years. The 2016 film, all other considerations aside, was simply unfunny. AFTERLIFE is another of that relatively new Hollywood concoction: a sequel, reboot and remake all at once. Its respectful adherence to the original gets a wee bit close to embalmed nostalgia, but I'll take that over a thorough trashing of the original. As a comedy, I thought the film was mildly amusing. The only big laugh for me was in Sigourney Weaver's all-too-brief cameo. I mostly liked the new characters and was surprised that the film had some emotional resonance, considering the original was entirely glib. On the other hand, the inevitable appearance of the original Ghostbusters didn't have anywhere near the impact that I expected. They all seemed exhausted, like late-era Three Stooges. [/QUOTE]
