“Ghostbusters: Next Generation“ would have been a better title, since ”Ghostbusters: Afterlife“ features the grandkids of the original Ghostbusters inheriting the legacy. The kids master the decrepit but still functional ghost-gear and save the world that is, yet again, beset by demons and ghosts. Call it a love letter to the original movie, directed by the kid of the original director (Jason Reitman, son of Ivan). Ivan Reitman directed and produced the two 1980s ”Ghostbusters” movies.
