Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is perfectly fine—and that's kind of the problem. It's a serviceable family action-comedy that checks the boxes: teamwork, supernatural adventure, multi-generational cast working together to save the world. Your 10-year-old will probably have a decent time, and you won't be clawing your eyes out during the 115-minute runtime.
But with a 6.5 TMDB rating and being the fifth entry in a franchise that's been around since 1984, it's hard to get excited. The 'ancient artifact unleashes evil' plot is well-trodden territory, and while the ice age angle adds a fresh coat of frost, it doesn't fundamentally reinvent anything. If your family loves Ghostbusters, this is a reasonable rainy afternoon watch. If you're looking for something truly memorable or enriching, keep scrolling.
The supernatural scares are real but not traumatizing—think proton packs and ectoplasm, not psychological horror. It models positive values like cooperation and problem-solving, which is great. It's just... fine. And sometimes fine is exactly what you need.
