The Emotional Journey of “Finch”: A Movie Review
The movie “Finch” is a post-apocalyptic science fiction drama that premiered on Apple TV+ on November 5, 2021. Starring Tom Hanks as the titular character Finch, the movie takes us on an emotional journey through the eyes of a man who has created a robot to care for his beloved dog and to help him survive in a world ravaged by solar flares and radiation.
From the opening scene, “Finch” had me hooked with its stunning visuals and an eerie score that immediately set the tone for what was to come. As we are introduced to Finch, his dog Goodyear, and their robot companion Jeff, we see how they navigate through abandoned cities and landscapes, scavenging for supplies and trying to avoid dangerous situations.
Storyline
The storyline of “Finch” may seem like something we’ve seen before – a lone survivor trying to make it in a harsh world – but what sets this movie apart is the human element. As we get to know Finch more intimately, we learn about his past and what led him to create Jeff. We also witness his struggle with illness and mortality, and how he wants to ensure that Goodyear will be taken care of even after he’s gone.
As Jeff becomes more advanced with artificial intelligence technology, he starts developing human-like emotions which creates a profound impact on Finch’s life. He becomes a surrogate father to Jeff and the bond between Finch, Jeff, and Goodyear become the heart of this movie.
Acting and Characters
When it comes to acting, Tom Hanks delivers another masterclass performance as Finch. He portrays the character with such precision and emotional depth that he makes you feel like you’re experiencing everything with him. The chemistry between Hanks, Caleb Landry Jones as Jeff and Goodyear creates a perfect balance between humanity and technology.
Landry Jones deserves a special mention for bringing Jeff to life with his convincing robotic mannerisms while still managing to make him relatable. His performance elevates the movie from being a mere sci-fi flick to an emotional drama that will tug at your heartstrings.
Cinematography
The cinematography of “Finch” is breathtakingly beautiful. The wide shots of the abandoned cities are hauntingly realistic, while the close-ups of the characters capture their emotions down to every last tear that falls on their faces.
The post-apocalyptic world is so well designed with intricate details that it’s hard not to feel like you’re part of it all along with Finch, Jeff and Goodyear as they journey through it.
Special Effects
The special effects of “Finch” are incredible. The seamless integration of CGI gives Jeff a real-life look that makes it hard to believe he’s not an actual robot. The makeup and prosthetics used to create the radiation burns and the signs of disease on Finch’s body create a realistic look that adds authenticity to his character.
The use of sound effects coupled with the background score heightens emotions and complements the visual experience.
Popularity and Evaluation
Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, “Finch” is quickly becoming a fan favourite. The movie has an IMDb rating of 7.3 out of 10 and has received praise for its emotional depth, Tom Hanks’ performance, and its stunning visuals.
Personally, I found myself emotionally invested in this movie from start to finish. It’s a beautifully crafted story about the human connection that transcends beyond life itself.
Gossip
There isn’t much gossip surrounding “Finch”, which is not surprising given that it’s a new release. However, fans of Tom Hanks will be glad to know that he has expressed interest in returning to his role as Woody in ‘Toy Story 5’ if it ever comes to be.
Conclusion
“Finch” is a must-watch for fans of science fiction, drama and emotional storytelling. It’s a movie that will make you laugh, cry and leave you feeling emotionally fulfilled.
The heartwarming chemistry between Finch, Jeff and Goodyear is the backbone of the movie as it creates an unbreakable bond between man and machine.
“Finch” is not just another post-apocalyptic movie; it’s a testament to the resilience of human nature in the face of adversity.
