The story is nicely stand-alone and doesn't require that you have seen the two previous prime timeline films to understand the plot, the threat and the characters. The ending is both an excellent action set-piece that's true to the Ghostbusters mythos and, also, is surprisingly heart-warming in terms of representing the swansong and conclusion for the original team.
Mckenna Grace is a revelation and it really is as if the spirit of Harold Ramis is guiding every step of her performance.
Overall theme? Family and friendship and how it is built and must be sustained through adversity. "We're ready to believe you", the Ghostbusters famously chorused at the end of their TV advert. This is very much about belief, not just in the supernatural (which is almost tangential to the plot) but in yourselves and in those you love.
Far from the 1984 masterwork in terms of quality but it easily stands up to the quality of Ghostbusters II.
Is this the start of a new phase for the franchise? Well, there is the 'Ghost Corps' logo and the implication that Ghostbusters has survived into the modern day in some form. There are a few other hints of future plot-lines but I'm not 100% sure that the franchise could support more material (even though you know Sony wants to cash in).

Agreed on most points.While the film starts a bit slower after the initial action scene, I actually like that. The characters are people first instead of just falling into cliches or someone else's role
I like how they filmed the opening to avoid having to do the virtual actor thing (click to show/hide)for as long as they possibly could. And what they did use of it was put to good use.
I also like that they used a combination of both practical and CG effects work. The movie is worth the ticket price (at least locally) and I'll be purchasing it when it comes out on blu-ray/DVD.
LeeC:
Encanto is great! Is it sad that I related to Bruno?
Farideh:
I love Encanto as well, it gets better every time I watch it. The family dynamics are fascinating, and while I agree that Abuela could have made better choices, I also understand WHY she did it. Poor Alma :(

Adam Savage of Mythbusters did a series of videos on his YouTube channel of behind the scenes geeking out for Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Definitely recommended if you've seen the movie, or don't care about spoilers.
Recently watched the movie, and had a lot of fun.
