In "Finch," a man, a robot and a dog form an unlikely family in a powerful and moving adventure of one man's quest to ensure that his beloved canine companion will be cared for after he's gone. Tom Hanks stars as Finch, a robotics engineer and one of the few survivors of a cataclysmic solar event that has left the world a wasteland. But Finch, who has been living in an underground bunker for a decade, has built a world of his own that he shares with his dog, Goodyear. He creates a robot, played by Caleb Landry Jones, to watch over Goodyear when he no longer can. As the trio embarks on a perilous journey into a desolate American West, Finch strives to show his creation, who names himself Jeff, the joy and wonder of what it means to be alive. Their road trip is paved with both challenges and humor, as it's as difficult for Finch to goad Jeff and Goodyear to get along as it is for him to manage the dangers of the new world.

Finch | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Jason Bailey The Playlist The trouble with this kind of mix-tape moviemaking is that when your film is dominated by echoes, it's difficult to make your own voice heard. Dec 28, 2021 Full Review Finch | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Hanks does what he can with this demeaning material, because he always gives his best, but what can you do with a movie where the dog gets all the good close-ups? Rated: 2/5 Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Finch | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Kimber Myers Crooked Marquee For a film where just one of the three named characters is an actual person, Finch exists as a surprisingly moving exploration of what it means to be human. Rated: A- Nov 11, 2021 Full Review Finch | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Gianmarco Farfán Cinencuentro In addition to the technological component, this film poses a fair criticism on the little capacity human beings have to conserve this beautiful planet... [Full review in Spanish] Aug 24, 2023 Full Review Finch | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Serena Seghedoni Loud and Clear Reviews With plenty of American Dream nostalgia and a great performance from Tom Hanks, AppleTV+’s Finch is ultimately a story about love in its purest form. Rated: 4/5 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Finch | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews 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.

BC Good story, good acting (You can't go wrong with Tom Hanks and a cute dog as the stars...). I realize that this film presented a boots-on-the-ground, tactical perspective, and not a big picture view, but I wish the story would have provided a little more meat around the background of how he got to the place he was. Still, it was a very enjoyable flick. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/07/21 Full Review Breno G Special Effects: 1,0/Sound Effects: 1,0/Acting: 1,0/Story: 2,0 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Auden G Lovely movie. Good acting, well story-boarded with heavy hitting emotional seanse that leave you a stronger understanding of each character's drive. It may not be the best film, but it surtenly pulls on the strings of your heart. More importantly, it accomplished what it set out to do. Convey how fleeting life is and it's need for love. (would have rated 4 stars but it already has a bad rating). Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Ade P You really can’t go wrong with a Tom Hanks movie and this is no exception. The premise and backdrop of the film were spot on, leaving you to take in the fine acting. Watched it a second time and it was just as enjoyable. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Jeffrey P The story of a man and his dog... and an A.I. robot in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. They couldn’t have messed it up if they tried. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review shane p From beginning to end it was amazing Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
