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.

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

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?

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-

Despite a poor casting choice of Anya Taylor-Joy (not believable as a trained assassin) and a contrived love-story with some very cringe-worthy moments, the mystery and fun of the premise is enough to make this an enjoyable watch.

The 2 leads are very enjoyable to watch and you root for them, the rest is questionable but worth a stream.

ABSOLUTE PEAK CINEMA!!! From the forbidden romance to the high risk action, this has it all. Already watched it multiple times. As an avid gamer I would KILLLL to see something like this as a game.

Adored this film. It almost felt like a movie from the 90s back when movies didn't try to be all things to all viewers. It's a 2hr simple romantic story in a horror/sci fi backdrop that doesn't try to do too much. Stunning performances especially Anna Taylor Joy who is just amazing. A great late night movie that I want to watch it again.

PEAKK The special effects and VFX are absolutely phenomenal—and the plot of the entire movie is out of this world.

Julian Rex M

Emotionally undercut by thin characterization and narratively hamstrung by Zach Dean's highly contrived script, The Gorge lands no punches as a earth-shattering action-drama, instead crawling along as a logically faulty if elegantly lit rerun of Pirates of the Caribbean visual effects.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
