The new Tom Hank's vehicle 'Finch' reminded me of a lot of movies while watching it, Wall-E, Silent Running, I Am Legend, The Road, The Martian, Twister, Cast Away, Rain Man, Nomad, Short Circuit, The Book of Eli, yet it never equals the sum of any of it's parts. A derivative uninspired work, and while Hanks gives a typically fine performance I simply don't want to see him a depressing post apocolyptic story. The film is 60% through by the time it really gets going, has only two sequences worth much of anything, and tries way too hard in pouring on the cheap sentimentalism at the end, it simply wasn't earned. Technically competent and little more. *1/2
