The carcass is wrapped in sheets and set aflame on a pyre. He dies peacefully in bed, knowing that Goodyear has a proper guardian to take over his responsibilities.Īfter Finch dies, Jeff throws him a proper Viking funeral, as Finch had revealed to him that the meaning of his name, according to his mother, was one born of Viking blood. It is only now, when Finch can finally see that the pair will be alright without him that Finch retires into the RV and lets go of his earthly shackles. He dons a white leisure suit and tries, once more, to teach Finch to play fetch with Goodyear. Finch takes the opportunity to enjoy some time outside, eating lunch and basking in the sun. Apparently, there are now habitable parts of the world where the Sun doesn’t fry you like a vampire. When another butterfly flies past, Jeff hard brakes the RV, and shows Finch the splattered remains of the insect. Until a butterfly splats against the RV’s windshield. Finch is asleep in the back when this happens, and Jeff pretty much ignores it. Once the party gets close to their destination, a dashboard UV monitor announces that UV radiation is low and non-critical. This is true artificial intelligence, a lifeform bound in a metal body with real hopes and feelings, the dream of John McCarthy and Isaac Asimov. Finch teaches him to drive, find vacant buildings in which to scavenge for supplies and food, and even to jack up an RV when it gets a flat. Still, Jeff learns and evolves greatly along the way. He refuses to take commands from the robot, much less play fetch with him. Goodyear is untrusting of anyone other than Finch. Throughout the RV road trip, Finch tries to get Goodyear and Jeff to bond, but it isn’t an easy task. Why? It’s where Finch’s absentee father wrote to him via postcard and the site at which they were to meet one day. The destination: Sunny California! San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge to be exact. Soon after creating the A.I., a massive dust storm forces Finch and company to vacate their St. Finch even goes so far as to show Jeff how dangerous the UV rays are to himself and to Goodyear by exposing his arm to the Sun, which instantly causes it to sizzle and burn. So, a healthy presumption would be that Finch is dying from radiation caused by the solar flare. The condition itself is something of a mystery, other than various books that Finch owns covering topics from ionizing radiation to UV exposure.

He coughs up blood throughout the movie as a sign of his condition. Another reason for Jeff’s hasty creation is the fact that Finch is dying. So, aside from the dog being one of Finch’s only beloved companions, his protection of Goodyear is, no doubt, partially formed from the guilt he feels about not stepping in to help the dog’s previous caretakers. After the coast was clear, he found Goodyear as a pup inside the little girl’s backpack. You see, a while back, Finch hid and stood by at a grocery store while a woman and her daughter were gunned down by another scavenger.

Hey, it’s the least we could do for man’s best friend.
That’s right – man finally accomplishes the long sought-after dream of artificial intelligence in order to have someone to look after a guy’s dog. But his second is a sentient A.I., eventually named Jeff ( Caleb Landry Jones), who is created for the sole purpose of taking care of Finch’s dog, Goodyear, after he dies. His first work, Dewey, was a rolling helper-bot, not unlike some of the droids in Star Wars. Before the apocalypse, Finch (Hanks) was a robotics engineer, which allowed him to make his own companions out of spare parts after the flare. Let’s start with a brief recap of the events leading up to the film’s finale. Collider is here to clear up any Finch-related misconceptions. But the unorthodox ending has left some viewers scratching their heads.
Yet another post-apocalyptic film, this time the cataclysm caused by a solar flare, pits one man, his robot, and his dog against the American wasteland and its leftover inhabitants.
