Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (LAist) Two rules: don't show me your monster and don't explain it, because whatever you say is going to be silly. They broke both rules. May 8, 2025 Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) It's a tough balance to strike and I don't think the sci-fi part works as well as [the romance]. The two [actors] have a lot of chemistry and look great together, the film looks great, and the score is great. May 8, 2025 Full Review 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 Mar 3, 2025 Full Review Marta Medina mundoCine Scott Derrickson has crafted in The Gorge what feels like an adaptation of a video game that doesn’t exist, one that shines especially in its first half and in its impossible love story, brought to life by a dream team of actors. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Aug 22, 2025 Full Review Maxance Vincent FlickSided Scott Derrickson elevates The Gorge through its artful visuals and a thrilling techno-heavy score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, even if its storytelling frequently stumbles throughout its 128-minute runtime. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Dave Giannini Geek Vibes Nation For a movie like this to excel, the creators have to thread a very specific needle. The romance has to spark. The monsters have to be terrifying. The mystery needs to be fully engaging. Unfortunately, The Gorge is halfway there in all three facets. Rated: 5.5/10 Jul 19, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

lewis c Good watch, both actors were compelling in the romance side of the story however the monsters were showed early into the film deflating any suspense in the sci-fi side of things. The explanation of the gorge itself wasn’t necessarily needed but I enjoyed the film as a whole. Wouldn’t watch again but enjoyed the first watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/25 Full Review Jim222001 W Nice movie with great chemistry of the leads. You root for them even when the film gets silly and almost turns into a Resident Evil video game. Wanting them to make it is the main strength of the movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/17/25 Full Review Kristie L. Good watch! I like both actors. Would recommend, but wouldn't feel the need to watch again. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/16/25 Full Review Craig K It was ok. The creatures in the gorge didn't seem to cause any problems to the protagonists that made us that much concerned. I did like the concept, but it seems half baked. The love story was pretty cool though! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/25 Full Review Ronald S Great show, great cast, great buildup, but the ending just seems to miss the mark. There's much to praise about this show - its ability to keep you engaged, the alluring cinematography, the stellar acting, and the great pace. However, the revelation and ending felt flat. With the time, more could be done with the depth of the characters, but it was traded for other more forgettable aspects of the show. Regardless, still a very fun and exciting show to watch for a casual night. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/25 Full Review Lucas F. The sci-fi element was vibrant and well constructed, the story was more than decent and kept me engaged the whole time, and the two performances really pull it all together. I would recommend this movie 100%! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/10/25 Full Review Read all reviews
