Why the movie thread was closed by moderators by the way? Looks weird to close one of the most active thread just days prior to the release of the movie...

The thread was closed by a super Mod this morning because some people can't behave and post like they should. I suggested he leave it closed for a day. & then open it & if it starts again then close it again.

When people post stupid things then the mods will do something about it

I'm a racist sexist misogynist communist Marxist misanthropic dog fighter slave trader and I'd still like to see this movie and it's extended cut on DVD. Oh wait, that comment may come off as controversial......I meant to say Blu-ray. I apologize and will attend counseling now as well as take some time off of this forum to find myself.

Make sense!

Thanks for the explanation. For my part, I'll go see it in theater to have my own opinion (I intent to focus only on the positive stuff and enjoy it the best I can), and I'll probably pick-up the regular Blu-ray release. I try to convince myself to not fall into the Ultra HD editions to safe my wallet!

Even if I hated this movie, I would still buy it on Blu-ray anyway. Because I'm a completeist that way.

I'll reserve any judgment until I actually see the movie, seeing it this Friday I'm really excited

The amount of blind hate this film has gotten so far without it even being out yet is ridiculous. So many people are rating it a 1 on iMDB without seeing it first

Bandit Tajomaru · 07-12-2016, 02:24 AM

The political correct police probably ordered it closed.

Best Buy pre-orders added: Blu-ray and UHD.

Saw this last night and it is excellent! It's also the best use of 3D I've seen in quite awhile, and I'd be interested to see how well that carries over to the eventual bluray release. Also, there are a couple of deleted scenes alluded to in the credits that I am really hoping make it to the disk.

This has seriously become a day one purchase for me.

cmaslow309 · 07-15-2016, 07:39 PM

LOVED it!! Especially the Jaws reference.

I agree with you! I really enjoyed it too! I thought the cast had great chemistry and were extremely funny. Overall the film was just a lot of fun.

Also yes the 3D is really amazing! The best I have seen since Gravity and Avatar in my opinion.

thornhill · 07-15-2016, 08:57 PM

Add me to the Best 3D since Avatar team, the 3D was fantastic in this! I saw it in 3D IMAX.

The movie was not perfect by any means, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Very fun movie.

KMFDMvsEnya · 07-16-2016, 12:25 AM

Overall I enjoyed it despite some of its flaws.

The villain's arc is underdeveloped and weakly executed. Their motivations are told rather than shown which leads to their actions feeling lacking in foreboding malice.

Since the villain's rationale is rather thin it lessens the tension of danger in the climatic battle. Things would have benefited seeing more spectral mayhem affecting the general populace.

The humor and tone of the film did not really gel with me until the troops first spectral encounter then I began to truly enjoy the ride.

This is not a remake per se but it does touch on certain keystone story elements of the original that are clearly evident. Do not expect this to be a Rietman GB film but a Fieg one.

I thought the cast chemistry was great and especially like McKinnon's Holtzmann. The special effects are generally great and the ghosts are well executed. Many are real actors with CG augmentation.

Thankfully the official NuGhostbuster theme song is sparingly used and the soundtrack does make use of the original as well riffs on it to good effect.

Give it a chance and one may discover that there is some fun to be had so long as it is taken on its own terms.

Regardless the originals continue to exist and not going anywhere.

I'm going to pick this up when it comes out, especially if there is an extended cut.

I just saw it this morning. It was better than I had expected - and I truly didn't expect much since, like many others, I was questioning why anyone would even consider rebooting this series. There are many fun nods to the original. And the cameos were well placed. There is some good chemistry with this group. My biggest problem, though, is with Kevin. I didn't felt that his character was truly needed. They could've used any other character

and the story would still move along. Also, they could've tone down the scene just a wee bit when

And I felt that Holtzmann was able to

. Nevertheless, I have some renewed high hopes for the sequel.
