It's impossible to not like a sentimental Tom Hanks movie. It's one of the last pure joys of Hollywood we have left. And Finch is all that, a warm, good-hearted movie, though very limited in scope.

Tom Hanks just makes good movies. Middle stretches thin but the beginning and end make up for it. Man, beast, machine, artificial intelligence, and the universe. It’s the story of our time here, beautiful, sad, happy, terrifying, it’s all here.

Finch perhaps maybe a touch too long for some viewers (at 1hr 49min) but patient audiences should be rewarded. Hanks does what he does best in a strange picture that casts him aside a Dog and an A.I.

Hanks does what he does best in a strange picture that casts him aside a Dog and an A.I. Robot. The dog is a likable pooch and the robot, built by dying electrical engineer Tom, is programmed to care for his canine friend after he’s gone. This is no kids picture and there’s suspense in its bleak post-apocalyptic setting (earth decimated by a Solar Flair) spots of humor are also well-placed and don’t detract from the drama. Thankfully the writers (Craig Luck and Ivor Powell) and director (Miguel Sapochnik AKF; ‘Hunger Games’) keep the focus on the central humane theme – unlike many other movies out there presently, they have avoided the superficial over-the-top spectacle and kept it mostly believable. Perhaps some aspects of the story might not hold up to close scrutiny (but who’s lived on post-apocalyptic earth to know?) it’s the amiable personality development between the three ‘friends’ that keeps it entertaining. The last scene offers a melancholy moment to consider Hank’s character, and what he’s missed in life. Quality cinematography and music score (both original and from the past) dress it up nicely. There even seems to be rather well-chosen parallels to Don MacLean’s, American Pie’s father theme (?) Not to mention the symbolism of the 1984 Fleetwood RV. Worth thinking about.… Expand

This is Tom Hanks at his best... the whole concept had us gripped from beginning to end. I didn't use my phone once during the film.

Очень душевный и милый фильм. Том Хэнкс в стандартном амплуа, от этого появляется ощущения, что вернулся в детство. В общем, рекомендую ознакомится, отличная семейная драма с элементами научной фантастики.Очень душевный и милый фильм.

A very average movie where Tom Hanks plays old man Tom Hanks. He's not bad, but it's kind of tiring seeing him do the very same thing over and over. Caleb Landry Jones, as Jeff, is the best part of 'Finch'. The way he changes his voice as heA very average movie where Tom Hanks plays old man Tom Hanks. He's not bad, but it's kind of tiring seeing him do the very same thing over and over. Caleb Landry Jones, as Jeff, is the best part of 'Finch'. The way he changes his voice as he develops human traits is funny and fulfilling. I appreciate the noble idea of this, but post-apocalyptic films have been done to death, so there's nothing here you haven't seen before.… Expand

Another painfully generic, by the numbers movie staring an A-lister that offers nothing original or anything of substance. Passable at best.

Finch is a post-apocalyptic story where the world's situation is not really important, and frankly, that's not really a bad thing.
Of course the reasons for this can be questioned, because it's not of much use, but an unlikely human-robotFinch is a post-apocalyptic story where the world's situation is not really important, and frankly, that's not really a bad thing.
Of course the reasons for this can be questioned, because it's not of much use, but an unlikely human-robot friendship story doesn't sound so bad in any situation. But that's only if you can make it work.

Tom Hanks is too proven an actor to have a hard time holding a film all by himself, and the film's production is pretty well done, but the script is weak, predictable and inconsistent.
Not terrible though, just absolutely unremarkable.

I believe with absolute certainty that Finch could have tried to explore and exploit other types of more interesting narrative resources, but quite fast I saw there was no interest in using other narrative variants, and the whole conduction of the story plays it safe from start to finish.

Just a weekend option, if you had no better ones.… Expand

As good as Tom Hanks is he can't carry this movie because the story isn't very good...the growing up of an Android? His skills can be used elsewhere.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hard to understand who thought this was a good idea. Charming performance from Hanks is a given, but the script is by turns clichéd, unfunny, corny and sappy, and usually at the same time. The robot is goofy and annoying, and the premise is totally incongruous; an apocalypse comedy with a side of sentimentality. Some critics, on automatic when they see Hanks, have, IMO, found grace and meaning where there is none. Unless the sight of Hanks deactivates your critical faculties, hard pass.… Expand
