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.

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.

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.

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

We should have known it was all downhill after that inexplicable but highly welcome rom-com intermission.

Ramble On With Buffa (Substack)

All in all, a solid action adventure that spins a new take on the forbidden romance setup. Levi taking the leap to go see a woman he just met does unleash chaos, but would you resist the urge to dive headfirst over a large canyon for love?

Esta película me sorprendió, la vi sin saber nada de ella y pensé que era de espías y no, de un momento a otro hay monstruos mutantes y mucha acción en lo que termino siendo una historia de amor. Tiene muchas cosas que pasan por que si (sobre todo en el final) pero entretiene, perfecta para pasar el rato, cumple.

The Gorge is AppleTV’s latest flick featuring a stellar cast including Miles Teller, Anya Taylor-Joy and Sigourney Weaver. It follows Levi (played by Teller), a highly skilled Special Operative who has been assigned a new mission, to guard The Gorge. Not knowing the mystery of what lies beneath The Gorge, Levi teams up with Drasa (played by Anya Taylor-Joy) to stop whatever is there from surfacing. What I loved the most about The Gorge was the love story between Teller and Joy. Their connection and chemistry is undeniable and helps build empathy for the characters on screen. The moments where they’re learning about one another and flirting from each other’s watchtowers is terrific and you can easily see their relationship grow as the duration progresses. The colour palette used throughout the bottom of the gorge is done really well. Showcasing vibrant colours amongst the action sequences make the scene come to life. The action sequences are thrilling and keep you engaged. The CGI is a little ropey at times and the dialogue can be cheesy at times but it doesn’t stop The Gorge from being a good movie. This is definitely a popcorn movie that is full of action and romance which is sure to appeal to all. 7.5/10
