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

Wendel L Direção: Bom Atuação: Bom Roteiro: Ok Caracterização: Ok Soundtrack: Ok Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Mike B. Great adventure thrill ride. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review korey Thoroughly enjoyed this thrill ride. Kept me intrigued & kept blood pumping. Actors held up nicely & made it believable as I got lost in the story. Nice work Apple. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/25 Full Review Kauã M It had been a long time since I felt so conflicted about a film. From the moment I first heard about The Gorge, my curiosity was high. The combination of unique concepts and an excellent cast immediately drew me in. With genres that range from suspense, action, romance, horror, to science fiction, I was both intrigued and worried about how it would balance everything. The story begins as an unpredictable adventure, where you cannot tell where it is going, yet the mysteries keep you engaged. When the first creature appears, the visual design feels too familiar, as if taken from countless other films. That was disappointing. However, the chemistry between the two main characters completely won me over. Their relationship, even when unfolding in somewhat predictable ways, was so well portrayed that I constantly wanted to see more of them and kept rooting for them. This romance became the heart of the film for me. The movie handles mystery, romance, and suspense very well, supported by a fantastic soundtrack. On the other hand, it struggles to deliver science fiction and action with the same quality. The CGI, parts of the writing, and some directorial choices fall short. I spent the entire runtime divided between admiration and frustration. In the end, what stayed with me was not the action or the horror, but the strangely captivating bond between the two leads. The film stumbles in many areas, but when it gets it right, it pulls you in completely. That mix of disappointment and recognition of its potential left me with an unusual sense of acceptance. I ended up giving it 4.5 out of 5. More than anything, it made me want to see more stories with the same emotional intensity, where romance feels this powerful and engaging. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/25 Full Review Matt H Not sure how this got a low score. This is a great movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Kristle C This movie had all the things to make it interesting. However, it fell short at every turn. Every. Turn.
