It's been a very long time since we have gotten to talk about the incredible Tom Hanks! Covid really did, and still has in many ways, pushed back lots of movies. I know that there are two movies that were supposed to come out that now don't have release dates. This movie was supposed to come out in like 2021, I think. However, it was never released in theaters. It's only on Apple TV. I really didn't want to get Apple TV for a month just so I can watch one movie, but 2021's Best Picture Winner is also only on there so I got it and this movie surprised me.
Finch is a man that is doing something that is impossible.... surviving in the apocalypse. This scientist turned survivalist is about to run out of luck. The Ozone layer is basically gone and being in the sun will burn you to death. Finch spends time outside to find food, and other things needed for survival. One of the things he is looking for is food for her beloved pet. When we meet Finch in his lab we learn he is trying to make a machine, that can learn, so it can help him take care of the dog. Finch is dying from radiation poisoning. He doesn't have much time left and has no one to take care of his dog for the rest of his days. Thus, Jeff is created and comes to life. We join Jeff on what it like to be human and how to deal with life and death, no matter the circumstances.
This movie has been in the works for a while. I thought that I was going to be a crazy action movie that would deal with zombies or something like that. However, Tom Hanks is the only person seen in the whole movie. He was a wonder to watch and see how he really can carry a movie alone, and how it made these inanimate objects a personality, and rally make you think they are really leaning what is means to be human.
Is it my favorite Tom Hanks movie? No, but if someone was interested in watching it I would tell them it worth it to watch. I don't think I would tell someone to go out of their way to watch it but if they have Apple TV and a few hours to kill, yeah go for it!
