Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is the sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife. A film that tried to breathe new life into the film series for old fans of the film series, but also for new fans of this generation. This new film is directed, written and produced in part by Gil Kenan, director of City of Ember and the 2015 Poltergeist remake.
The Spengler family has moved to the New York firehouse where the original Ghostbusters team had their secret research lab.
The discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force that deceives New York and the rest of the world with a new ice age. To prevent this, the new Ghostbusters must team up with the old members of the original team.
The director and writer of the previous Ghostbusters film Jason Reitman has stepped down as co-writer and producer for this sequel. Jason remains the son of Ivan Reitman, who was the mastermind behind the original Ghostbusters film series.
By filling this new film with the old and new characters and in addition to some references from the old films, they have made this film a bit too full. This can sometimes make the film seem a bit messy or long-winded. Most of the characters in this film also have their own storyline, but because of all these different storylines it sometimes remains difficult or uninteresting to follow them all exactly.
The best moments in this new film are when it comes to Mckenna Grace and Dan Aykroyd's characters, as they really do more research into the threat of the ice demon. The other characters are more concerned with their own things, but these are more separated from the real story of the film until the end. As a result, it takes a while before the real threat of the ice demon really begins.
