GHOSTBUSTERS - IMAX 3D

Watchable. To be watched in 3D only (top-notch, really), best at IMAX. The most 80s movie since the 80s. It's colourful, cheerful, makes you forget the world outside. Well, I admit, it's not all gold. A big part of the film is silly and the jokes popping up one a minute are often primitive and rarely funny which I blame on the script since the acting is superb. While there's not even one bad role in this movie, Kate McKinnon beats all. She well deserves an Oscar for her portrayal of a wacky engineer much akin to Doc Brown from "Back to the Future". A special flavour for those who watched the 1984 version of "Ghostbusters" are cameos of the original stars in new roles. Lots of 80s-style music will make you wiggle your feet till the end of the credits. Just make sure you shake off that green ectoplasm before you leave the cinema (after the after-the-credits scene)!

I'm watching a horror tomorrow. That's going to be tough... 'cause I ain't afraid of no ghosts.
