Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
The Spengler family returns to where it all started - the iconic New York City firehouse - to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who've developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level. But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.
Critics Sentiment
Nadeem wears his grandmother's Firemaster brass armor and masters his powers
Phoebe uses extraction equipment to project herself as a ghost
The film crashes from appreciated lore expansion to its lowest point during Phoebe's ghostly projection sequence, dropping 2.9 points as reviewers lost investment in the story.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire starts with solid promise and world-building but suffers significant pacing issues and character bloat in its middle act, particularly around the Phoebe-Melody subplot that many reviewers identified as the point where their engagement cratered. The film recovers somewhat in its final act when all the Ghostbusters unite, delivering satisfying action sequences and visual effects, though the overall experience was deemed competent but forgettable by most critics.
