Finch

A sweet little film, especially considering it's set in a post-apocalyptic hellscape. Maybe that's the Tom Hanks effect. Comparisons to Cast Away are inevitable, with Wilson the volleyball replaced by Goodyear the dog and Jeff the robot, but the grim sense of the struggle to survive somehow seems muted here. This is light entertainment, geared more towards families or younger viewers. There were cute moments as the robot needs to be trained and weepy moments as the human's health is failing, but unfortunately it never seemed terribly clever or original. Hanks is great as always and the robot is awkwardly cool, but I wish the story had been better.

Finch is more proof that Tom Hanks is a great actor and makes good movies. This is a dramatic story of a man a dog on a journey to San Francisco during a post apocalyptic future with the companionship of a self-aware robot. While the movie's setting is not unique and slightly predictable, Tim Hank's ability to make the viewer feel so comfortable with the main character you can't help but feel his emotional ups and downs. It wasn't until the end that I realized it was a 2 hour movie.

I'm surprised that so many reviewers expect blockbusters from every movie with a big named actor. These same people are over-saturated by comic action films they failed to see the beauty in the story itself and expected 2 full hours of action.

In a normal world, Finch could've been a hit, or at least a cult hit. A delightful comfort-food hangout movie with four relatable, likable characters...only one of which is human. The ending isn't super satisfying, but it says something about the rest of the film that I still enjoyed it so much. Apparently, my face was giving away my feelings. Without my having spoken a word, in the middle of the movie, my wife randomly said to my daughter, "Your daddy loves this movie."

Tom Hanks is such marvelous actor that he can get into the skin of any character and does it with so ease that convinces the audience.

Finch (played by Tom Hanks) is struggling to survive both mentally as well physically in the post-apocalyptic world in the company of a dog and a robot. He knows that he is getting old and will not be able to make it through, so he invents another AI based human-like robot who imitates the activity of Finch so that they can travel as far as possible away from storms which tends to threaten them.

From the director of Game Of Throne series, Finch is a heart-warming and compassionate film which will make you smile, laugh and cry with its moments. The film could have been better just like Tom Hanks's previous classic Cast Away, but looses the steam towards second half. Nevertheless, the powerful performances and few brilliant scenes and Finch can be a pleasant watch with your family.

This is exactly the kind of movie I do enjoy watching. Post-apocalyptic scenes, it makes you think about the future. In the case of Finch it's quite simple, no Mad Max action scenes but a simple story with only one actor, Tom Hanks, if you don't count the voice of the robot and the lovely dog Goodyear. Like in Cast Away Tom Hanks carries this movie like nobody else can. One actor only doens't mean bad movie and he shows us that. Quite a long movie but never boring, with good existencial conversations between Tom Hanks and his robot. The dog, what is he cute, adds something sweet and emotional to the story. In other words I liked it a lot and I'm not surprised others will like this one as well.
