Finch - Tom Hanks, a dog & a robot

On a post-apocalyptic earth, a robot, built to protect the life of his creator's beloved dog, learns about life, love, friendship and what it means to be human.

This looks like fun - coming to TV 5th November 2021

FineWine:... Finch - Tom Hanks, a dog & a robot...

The Finch film looks interesting. This plus Trying and Ted Lasso might be enough to get me to renew my Apple TV+ subscription.... might!

Foundation

Watched the first two episodes last night. There will be an episode release each Friday from now on.

Impressions. I have always been an Isaac Asimov fan since my mid 20's when I first discovered them and I now have most of his books. When I heard that the Foundation series was finally being made and released I started re-reading the series. I am currently half way through Book 4 - Foundations Edge. My God his writing is exceptional. Just the way he paints pictures and concepts with words. It is these pictures and concepts which script writers have had and will have trouble putting onto the screen.

I notice in the credits that his daughter, Robyn Asimov, is a Producer on this series so therefore, I presume, has conceptual approval throughout. I mention this because last nights two episodes contained events, that in Book 1 - Foundation, were only a small paragraph, have now become major events in the TV adaptation.

The overall feel; scenes, costumes and music, give me a; Dune (1984), Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace & Blade Runner (both) impression. The sound is great through my HT system, pity I don't have a better screen, which I think would make it more immersive.

The writers have tried to explain all the concepts for the uninitiated into this series and I think they have succeeded quite well. There are three books in the original series with a further two prequels and two sequels. The original trilogy will certainly continue to be made into a TV series and I suppose depending upon their success maybe the remaining four.

So far so good.

Two more episodes of Ted Lasso (Season 2) to watch, then I will probably watch The Morning Show (Season 2). Finch looks promising. Tom Hanks usually delivers a good performance. The Foundation is also on my list.

With more content becoming available, I find that I am watching Apple TV+ much more than I was expecting to. With 4K video and Atmos sound, it really is a good home entertainment option. I may have to reconsider, and actually pay for a subscription when the free 12 month period ends.

I'm actually thinking about purchasing some Airpods Pro or Airpods Max so that I can take advantage of the spatial sound now available on my Apple TV 4K with the latest TVos 15 operating system.

I watch a lot of TV after wifey has gone to bed, so I can't use my sound system then. Spatial sound is available from AppleTV+, Disney+, Netflix and iTunes apps.

Watched the premier of Foundation last night. It's excellent and the production values are through the roof. I'm hooked. Super smart sci-fi so far. The way they've designed the faster-than-light travel is genius.

Update to my previous post.

I bought a pair of Airpods Max from PB Tech. $130 less than from the Apple Store. They were the only colour that were reduced by so much, because they are PINK! 🤣

As I am only going to be using them in my Man Cave or living room, colour doesn't matter. I'll take the savings everytime. 🤑

Took me a short while to work out how to get spatial audio connected, but when I did, I was amazed at the deep bass that these over ear, noise cancelling headphones can put out.

Noise cancelling works as it should. No more road or wind noise interrupting my night movie watching from now on. A truly immersive experience, and no more cables to trip over.

Apple products are expensive, but if you want the best, then Apple usually provide it. Love these headphones.

Watched the first three episodes of The Morning Show Season 2. I'm enjoying it so far. Definitely recommend watching season 1 first.

I hate having to wait a week for each episode. I much prefer being able to binge watch TV series on Netflix.

I'll have to start on Foundation, when I next visit Apple TV+.

Invasion - 6/10

Earth is visited by an alien species that threatens humanity's existence. Events unfold in real time through the eyes of five ordinary people across the globe as they struggle to make sense of the chaos unravelling around them.

Well I'm a bit disappointed in this one. It is a quite slow going pot boiler (3ep in). i"ll stick with it a while longer.

Having decided to renew my subscription, I fell asleep watching Finch last night... woke up to watch a few more episodes of Ted Lasso, series 1.

Watched (or tried to watch) Finch today. It put me to sleep several times, and after waking and rewinding often, it took about three hours to get to the end. If this is what we can expect from Apple Original films in the future, then, I will definitely be cancelling my subscription.

The song "Road to Nowhere" featured at one stage, and I thought that it was a perfect fit for this movie.

I did enjoy the Dolby Atmos track.
