Critics Consensus

Mixing multiple genres, The Gorge makes for a surprisingly endearing romance until its action-thriller obligations steer proceedings back onto a more predictable path.

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

The special effects are quite good, but “The Gorge” doesn’t scale the goofy heights in a rollercoaster ride way that it thinks it does, stalling out with a hackneyed ending that makes you shrug your shoulders and want to move on to something better.

Rated: 2/4

The romance, as saccharine as it may be, is an endearing throughline, anchoring the film as it oscillates between its genres.

Despite looking like it was based on a video game that your younger brother obsessively plays, The Gorge is in fact an original, or whatever that word means when the plot and aesthetic feel like they’ve been stitched together from so many other films.

Rated: 2/5

The Gorge is essentially cut scenes from every World War II zombie video game you've ever seen. It has the same basic plotting, and is wholly derivative in its visuals and world building.

Rated: C-

An intriguing genre hybrid with compelling conspiracy concepts unfortunately suffocates beneath derivative flourishes, video game aesthetics and poorly structured characterizations. But Sigourney Weaver looks fantastic.

It's good. The plot and premise are easy to understand, so don't listen to those saying otherwise. The leads did a good job and had good chemistry. I normally don't go into movies like this for the romance, but I was actually invested the most in that aspect of the movie while watching it. It elevates the entire thing surprisingly well. Everyone listening to Yeah Yeah Yeahs - 'Spitting Off the Edge of the World' right now got sent there by this movie. My wife and I enjoyed it.

The gorge was pretty exciting, the romance, the thrill, the effects. It made the film engaging, I really like films that has a good balance of action and romance. I mean the chemistry between levi and dasha was very chef’s kiss, I hope too see more films like this.

While not necessarily as original or as gripping as it could've been, The Gorge has plenty on screen to make it it worth your time if you just sit back and enjoy it for what it is. The chemistry between the two main characters is it's strength and makes you care enough to follow them into The Gorge of monsters who appear to resemble many action horror video games. It's not going to be a game changer but sometimes, as in the case of The Gorge, that's just fine.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I didn’t expect much from The Gorge, but it turned out to be a thrilling sci-fi action ride. Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller have great chemistry, and the futuristic setting was convincingly portrayed. The pacing was tight, making it an exciting watch from start to finish.
