"Finch is far from being the most impressive, imaginative post-apocalyptic, survival film, but it's still a captivating, character-driven story that boasts an emotionally resonant, meaningful personal journey.

Tom Hanks proves to still be in shape by delivering a genuine performance as a man who teaches and learns about companionship, human bonding, and perseverance of love and life.

Focusing on the relationships between Finch, the adorable dog, and the witty robot (excellently voiced by Cale...

Full Analysis at Spotamovie.com - **Intro** - Finch is a journey to discover life and the essential elements of it. Finch brings relevant topics on the screen, including just one actor (Tom Hanks), a dog and two robots. It may look like a simple story or static because of the apparent lack of characters, but, trust us, it’s engaging and let us think about our life and purpose. So let’s dive into the story. **The Story** - We are in a post-apocalyptical world. A solar flare destroyed the ozone, making life almost impossible on earth. Finch is one of the few survivors, and he struggles to ta...

OK, first things first - original this isn't. It is an amalgam of many road trip and robot movies that we have all seen many times before. That said, it is maybe the first actual robot road movie I think I have ever seen, and Tom Hanks and his metallic sidekick "Jeff" - along with their dog, make quite an entertaining fist of it. The world has been exposed to massive radiation and he appears to be the sole survivor. With an incredible storm approaching his home, he constructs his new friend and the three make for San Francisco in his heavily adapted motorhome. It's a well paced affair, this, a...

**Good but lacks flashback method**

It smells like a (cast away 2000) movie. The film was directed by Miguel Sapochnik, and the majority of his works were series that had wide fame, one of the best of them being directed by 6 of Game of Thrones, and the best episode he directed was Battle of the Bastards.

The story of the movie is about a man who lives alone on the planet with a dog, where he invented a robot to take care of the dog if he died or something bad happened to him.

The film talks about humanity and respect for whoever you talk to, even if you are talking to a robot made of...

Tom Hanks builds a robot to keep his dog alive after he's gone, and the film spends less time on the apocalypse than on what that says about him. Jeff never talks about Goodyear directly, everything he does, the paranoia, the rules, the overprotective route-planning, is really about a man who has already decided he's going to die and is trying to outsource his love. That's a smarter setup than the trailer let on.

The dust storms are the best thing in it. Long, quiet, orange-lit stretches where a dead gas station or an empty Route 66 diner feels lived-in instead of set-decorated, because the...
