building an android called Jeff (a motioncaptured Caleb Landry Jones) which has a Borat/Stephen Hawking electronic voice. Jeff goofily learns how to walk, to drive Finch’s RV and to understand the world – and his main task will be to look after Finch’s other special friend, a dog called Goodyear, when Finch is dead.

Written by: Craig Luck Starring: Tom Hanks, Caleb Landry Jones Running time: 115 minutes Finch is a 2021 American post-apocalyptic science fiction drama film directed by Miguel Sapochnik from a spec script written by Craig Luck and Ivor Powell. In this film, Tom Hanks takes his dog and a robot out on the road in a post-apocalyptic world — curiously, it lacks any sense of danger and it undoubtedly boasts some amazing visual effects work. Tom Hanks plays Finch, an ageing, unwell inventor, who is perhaps the only person left alive on Earth after a human-made environmental catastrophe destroyed the ozone layer and left cities half-buried in heat and dust. Now Finch scavenges for canned food by day and spends his evenings

So the character dynamic in this film is odd: it’s basically a three-way cute-off between Finch, Jeff and Goodyear and there are no other humans in the movie, except for the ones Finch remembers in harrowing flashbacks. While in their RV, Finch, Jeff and Goodyear appear at one stage to be pursued by someone in a car, and then… Well, these people, whoever they are, seem to just go away. Our heroes don’t run out of water or food and there are no battery-life issues with Jeff. At the very end, there is the crucial question of whether Goodyear can learn to love and trust Jeff the way he loves Finch, and it is Jeff who we are supposed to find sympathetic and relatable.
