In one week, “Ghostbusters” will hit the big screen, and the movie will finally be separated from all the conversation about its casting, and the fraction of man-children whose childhoods have forever been ruined by four women — Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones — daring to wear a proton pack will stay at home, while everyone else goes to the movies and judges the film on its merits. Until then, these five clips from the film provide another look at what’s coming.

At a glimpse, “Ghostbusters” seems to follow the broad strokes of the original movie — an unlikely team comes together, puts together their own gear, and starts a business fighting ghosts — but director Paul Feig believes he’ll be bringing something new to the equation.
“It’s such a big idea that can’t be just contained by two movies from 30 years ago,” Feig told CNET. “Especially now with all the stuff we can do with special effects — it just felt remiss to not play with it again and bring it to a new generation and give them their own Ghostbusters.”
Certainly, this new generation has been a tough judge of what they’ve seen so far, but the final verdict will be in when “Ghostbusters” opens on July 15th.
