The tension Cast Away and The Martian built around whether their protagonists would survive is also lacking here, since it’s clear from very early on that the radiation has caught up to Finch. Finch is never really alone but accompanied by his dog, Goodyear Dewey, a scavenging robot that resembles Wall-E and Jeff, who is capable of having real conversations and taking initiative even when his judgment isn’t sound. But in both those cases, the toll of loneliness feels stronger. Finch’s isolation evokes Hanks’ Academy Award-nominated role in Cast Away, while his methodical, engineering solutions to a series of crises he must face alone are more similar to Matt Damon’s performance in The Martian.
