This is one of those movies that tugs at your heartstrings, but in a good way. It is also one of the more realistic post apocalyptic movies I’ve seen.
Finch 2021 movie review from our AI overlords.
Instead of leaning on spectacle or chaos, this film finds strength in simplicity, humanity, and the quiet moments of connection.
Tom Hanks delivers yet another deeply compelling performance as Finch, a man navigating a desolate world with only his dog and a newly built robot, Jeff, for companionship. What makes Finch stand out is how grounded it feels. The apocalypse isn’t a backdrop for action, but a catalyst for reflection. The story feels real—not in its sci-fi mechanics, but in its emotional core. The world has ended, yet kindness, humor, and the will to protect something meaningful still remain.
There’s a beautiful melancholy that runs through the film, but it’s always balanced with warmth and subtle hope. The relationship between Finch, Jeff, and the dog Goodyear becomes the beating heart of the movie. Watching their bond grow feels like watching a new kind of family form, and it’s both heartwarming and heartbreaking at times.
Finch doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it does something arguably more impressive—it humanizes it. It reminds us that even at the end of the world, our need for connection, purpose, and love never fades.
