movie review - Finch
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Kokubunji, 2022.09.18
This is a sci-fi flick about a man surviving quite alone after some apocalyptic disaster. He has built some companions in the form of semi-sentient automata, and when he realizes that a terrible storm is coming that will wipe out his entire city, he takes to the Earth's radiation-bathed surface and attempts to find new shelter.
It's a bit of a slow piece, though it has its moments. Such as when they discover they've blundered into a trap and become pursued by unknown human aggressors. The ending is handled well, staying true to the tone and style and the story's main elements.
Recommended.
