It's not the best movie ever, but how can people give this 1-4? It is very good in my opinion. About 2 hours long but it felt very short. Very likeable characters. And there is only 4 of them. If u count robots and the dog. Not boring, funny, and emotional with good visuals. Perfect movie for one evening.
It was a decent movie. The premise was not the most original one, as we have seen elements of it in previous films. I think this is a film that again suffers a little bit from its marketing and the expectations it arises. If you expect an action loaded film like "I, Robot" you will be disappointed. This is rather a melancholic story about a dying man and his dog who creates a robot as a caretaker. Its a film about life, loss and moving forward.
It does have some action and tense elements that are typical for a SciFi adventure, and it does have fantastic visual effects and a beautiful cinematography. But the core of it is the characters (including the dog, which has its own character) by which the film is driven.
Its truly another one man show on Tom Hanks' resume and he has more than once proven that he is great at that. This is no difference. Tom Hanks gives a very touching performance. Its not constantly brilliant as he sometimes sleepwalks a bit through it, but in its essence very good.
I also liked he dynamic between the three characters which was nicely done.
Good film, not legendary, not a 100% must see but a good way to pass 2 hours with.

Loved it. It's Tom Hanks, a robot and a dog - what's not to love? From the life lessons, tender relationships portrayed between human and robot, human and dog, and the action-packed suspenseful scenes - it's a fun wild ride that had me laughing and crying and hugging my dog.
Survivor of this , indeed utopian apocalyptic sci-fi drama, making new friends out of what he has at hand, hes very well equiped both on material and intelectual capacities, a lot more than as a sole survivor after a plane crash in the pacific that made a film some decades ago.
Its a film full of special effects, and exploding visual colours, allthough the atmosphere is dazed out by dust and dirt, the filmographers do give this film a solesurviving glow of hope. Its a film about artificial friendship, may feel slow at times, but it gives more than it takes thinks the grumpy old man. Mr finch is the sole survivor i do wanna be. A recommend.

Tom Hanks is such marvelous actor that he can get into the skin of any character and does it with so ease that convinces the audience.
Finch (played by Tom Hanks) is struggling to survive both mentally as well physically in the post-apocalyptic world in the company of a dog and a robot. He knows that he is getting old and will not be able to make it through, so he invents another AI based human-like robot who imitates the activity of Finch so that they can travel as far as possible away from storms which tends to threaten them.
From the director of Game Of Throne series, Finch is a heart-warming and compassionate film which will make you smile, laugh and cry with its moments. The film could have been better just like Tom Hanks's previous classic Cast Away, but looses the steam towards second half. Nevertheless, the powerful performances and few brilliant scenes and Finch can be a pleasant watch with your family.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Finch activates the robot he reminds him of his four prime directives. The first is Isaac Asimov's first law of robotics.
- GoofsFinch mentions that the aurora is constantly visible at night due to ozone layer destruction. However, the aurora is the result of charged solar wind particles ionizing the atmosphere, like a neon lamp, and is found in the polar regions because of the earth's magnetic field. The ozone layer has nothing to do with the aurora or the earth's magnetic field, and so loss of the ozone layer would not change the latitudes at which it was visible.
A powerful solar flare can cause the aurora to become visible over lower latitudes, but only while the flare is still ongoing. Flares typically last at most a few days, even powerful flares. Given the state of civilization in the movie, it has clearly been many years since the ozone-destroying flare hit, and it would have long since subsided.
