15 reasons to watch Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

Known throughout the world, the Ghostbusters saga now has its seventh film that continues the adventures and good humor of the team, with its new villain and special effects that we love!

1. Nostalgia

A 40-year-old franchise that has been successful since 1984 with its first title “Ghostbusters”, and is not disappointing now 6 films later with its new title, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, which brings a new villain and continues the story of the characters from the previous film, now older and even more eager to become ghostbusters.

2. Fun

A film focused on fun, without heavy dramas, with a charismatic story and full of good moments to make you feel good watching!

With a little drama in the main character, the film manages to maintain the right dose so as not to take away from the story the focus of the Ghostbusters and their adventures to save the world from the imminent freeze.

3. Friendship

Great for making popcorn, gathering friends and/or family and spending a Sunday afternoon together. Due to this atmosphere that the film has of action with humor, it becomes the right choice to guarantee good times with the crowd, as it does not raise serious or controversial discussions, just adventure with good humor and a great dose of science fiction.

4. Classic actors

Featuring the names of the original cast, the film gains an extra touch of nostalgia and charisma with these actors who have already proven that they put on a show on screen.

With this new challenge, the current team gains the help of the original Ghostbusters, Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Winston Zedde (Ernie Hudson), Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) and Janine Melnitz (Annie Potts) - Who this time really put in the uniform again, after all these years, complete with anti-ghost equipment and direct action with the villain.

5. Rising actors

Bringing back Mckenna Grace who plays Phoebe Spengler, the actress does a great job acting as the main character and showing again her talent that has been cultivated since she was 6 years old when she started appearing on the screen.

Another name that has already gained prominence is Finn Wolfhard, who began his work in the 2016 series Stranger Things and returns in this film as Trevor (Phoebe's brother), not disappointing and giving a show with his screen time as expected.

6. New generation

The film introduces the idea that we will have a new generation. Maintaining the nostalgia of classic equipment, but bringing upgrades that give it a certain shine, the film brings a sense of continuity to the work of the ghostbusters, with new young faces eager to prove their worth, as well as new possibilities with the new technology presented and lots of room to evolve in this part, which could generate great stories in the future of the franchise!

7. New York

Returning to the city of the first film, New York is always welcome in action films. With its imposing air and dense atmosphere, with aggressive traffic and lots of movement on the streets, the metropolis is now at risk of being frozen.

This mix certainly yields good scenes and a great setting for the film, which never fails to take advantage of its characteristics!

8. Equipment upgrades

The film features a new laboratory, full of new features and improved equipment from classic films, bringing a 80s future “vibe” that adds more positive points. With new ways of trapping ghosts, and the possibility of studying them, this new laboratory plays an essential role in the story with new possibilities that could bring exciting news to the next films.

9. Jelly

As in a kind of fan service, the film once again features this charismatic little ghost who was even part of the team as a member of the Ghostbusters, in an animated series of 140 episodes from the 80s. In the film he does not have as active a role as in the cartoon; however, it makes for good smiling moments and is a great compliment to the story, serving as comic relief for the film.

10. Transcending generations

Few franchises can boast of transcending generations and still remaining relevant even after 40 years. With extremely engaging stories and a premise that moves the imagination and plays with our perception, while providing a light and precise humor, still featuring crazy science fiction equipment, this saga has gained a place in our hearts and will certainly continue to break the barrier of generations with its nostalgia and its captivating and different way of telling ghost stories.

11. Direction

Back with Director Gil Kenan, who also directed the last film in the franchise, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, he has great stories on his resume, for example, the film Monster House, an animation from 2006 very well evaluated by critics.

With a director who has already proven his worth, we can be sure that great moments will be delivered in the film with a captivating story that does justice to the franchise.

12. Special effects

Although it's not the main reason that would lead people to watch Ghostbusters, you can certainly expect great special effects in this film. Bringing this 80s atmosphere and the promise of a New York being frozen by the villain, this mix will yield epic and beautiful scenes on the screen, as we have already seen in the film's promotional posters.

13. Soundtrack

Featuring the famous original song as expected, the Ghostbusters theme is always welcome with an appeal to nostalgia that cannot fail to bring a smile to the listener's face. Taking advantage of the vibe of this theme, the film brings its soundtrack and audio effects all in this setting, which works very well to bring the feeling of mystery and paranormality, just like in the films that preceded it.

14. Lightness

Bringing in the main character the teenage drama with her parents and the disobedience already known from films that address this theme, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire does not allow this theme to take away the focus on the main story, which is to prevent the world from being frozen by the new villain who seeks revenge.

Without major controversies or heavy dramas, the film has an extremely pleasant atmosphere that will improve your mood when watching it.

15. Successful franchise.

The seventh film in a franchise already established in the market, there's no way it won't deliver good times. It's definitely worth watching and continuing to follow this franchise that has already won our hearts with its science fiction equipment, wild stories about ghosts putting our reality at risk and our heroes saving the day with a lot of determination and a pinch of humor.

These were my 15 reasons why you shouldn't miss the latest film in the Ghostbusters saga.
