I admit some boredom with many of the post-apocalyptic
movies over the past decade or so. Many of them have been fight, fight, fight
and lack true adventure.However, Finch
is truly a cut above them all. Yes, the earth is destroyed. Yes, there is
danger of being fried by the sun and murdered for a can of peaches, but in
Finch with Tom Hank starring in the title role, and his companions of Goodyear ,
a dog he loves so much that he created Jeff, a self evolving child-like,
walking and talking drone in event of the unavoidable, we willingly ride along with
this unlikely family in their old souped-up RV asthey travel across country with the idea of
arriving at their destination before an unenviable end.
Tom Hanks’ performance as Finch, the patient father who
teaches Jeff as much about caring for Good-Year, survival and finally himself
is to this writer - Oscar winning bonding material which equal that of ET and
Elliott bond.
Finch is streaming only on AppleTV+ and I highly recommend
it for all ages.
