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

TWMax65 I think this movie would’ve been better if it was more grounded and realistic. Some things that happened when they actually went down in the gorge didn’t make a lot of sense and I think it took away from the overall vibe from earlier in the movie. However, it wasn’t all bad. The chemistry between Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller was good and convincing and the initial set-up made me curious to keep watching it and remain invested. Just got a little too outlandish and elaborate for me with certain things that end up presenting a scary challenge to our main characters. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/06/25 Full Review Lexi S I thought this movie was incredible. The trailer didn't do it justice, which is great, because trailers can often give away the whole movie. Also great because I got to be pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it, and most books and movies I've read/watched this year have been disappointing. Sometimes the monster aspect, especially seeing what they look like, can ruin the narrative due to the graphics or backstory. At first they did look too much like the villains from The Jungle Cruise, giving off an air of underfunded CGI....but Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller and the fleshed out storyline behind the horrors (the who, the why, etcetera) brought it all full circle for me. Let's be real - any monster in any movie or show is cheesy out of context. It wouldn't be laughable if you were facing it in real life though, and that's the point of a movie. To be immersed in it with the characters. Otherwise, why bother watching the movie at all? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/25 Full Review AJ D. Absolutely love that action packed entertaining movies are making a comeback. Movie was great from start to finish. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/25 Full Review Iain N I was prepared for some plot implausibility, but not for a movie which descended eventually to video game level. The lead actors acquited themselves well. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/29/25 Full Review Daniel W Great duo!! Horrible film!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/25 Full Review marina c tried to mesh all genres into one and ended up with none of them done properly. extremely frustrating in how obvious everything was. Jumbled ideas from GOT, stranger things and rom coms. Actors are good but wasted 2 hours. Ending was so predictable, I actually said the exact words the main character said, seconds before he said them. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
