Overview: In 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.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.

Blu-ray Verdict: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is the second movie in the new franchise and it is so much fun! This time, new and old Ghostbusters team up to battle an ancient demon that wants to freeze Manhattan. The special effects are mind-blowing, especially when they’re chasing the icy ghosts. Also, this movie is really funny and features cool new ghostbusting gadgets and special appearances by some of the original cast members.

The film is set in New York City where Phoebe Spenglar (Mckenna Grace) and her family have moved, and they are busting ghosts in the original firehouse. Ray Stantz (Dan Ackroyd) runs an occult book and antique shop. When Ray buys a strange, ancient orb that contains a dangerous and ancient spirit, the two stories collide and the old and new Ghostbusters team up to save the city.

There are a ton of great things in this movie. The CGI ghosts and scenes of frozen New York City are amazing and very creative. The story is really fun because of many unexpected twists, new ghostly friends and lots of comedy. One of my favorite things about this film is that many of the original characters make appearances; like when Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) tests out some new ghost-catching gadgets from his secret lab.

The film’s message is that it’s important to work together to overcome challenges and that family can give us strength and the ability to be brave. Viewers should know it has scary moments, and that there is some light swearing, but nothing too serious for the younger ones to be wary of.

In summary, if there was ever a time in which you could keep both original characters and current characters, everyone is on the same team, no one is specifically fighting for power or dominant stature, this is that movie. This movie is about the Ghostbusters, the team, as a whole and they really nailed that. I cannot wait for more Ghostbuster movies in the future, I truly hope they can keep this momentum up for our future generations.
