I don't really feel like rehashing my thoughts on ATC all over again. To summarise, I loved the cast, I'm still a Paul Feig fan, and I think a sequel could have had potential to be better than the first. I was all in.
But I'm happy the franchise is back in the classic universe now, because that's what I grew up on. I've enjoyed building a lot of the ATC tech too (pack and pke, ghost chipper and Trap coming later).
What I will say is that if you haven't listened to the Extraplasm podcast about the recent ATC screening and Q&A session it's worth checking out. Paul had a lot of interesting things to say about what went wrong during production (such as entire scenes being cut because of VFX issues) and how he was blindsided by the backlash because he kept getting told that their test audience scores were VERY high (if they weren't, Sony would have taken back creative control).
