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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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] Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Dave Giannini Geek Vibes Nation Jul 19
5.5/10
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. Go to Full Review

Aya D @Nuller 1d The storyline for a sci-fi is pretty generic. As a scifi lover I go to the genre for intriguing and new ideas. This one mostly makes a double bet on scifi and romance. Also a bit tired of Ania Taylor Joy being type casted, finding her character quite flat. It was entertaining but not double-watcher. Fast food type of scifi. See more RBE D @Rbemavo 3d POS very misleading and the when it finally grasps your attention every thing goes to shambles horrible pitiful it wasn’t very demure See more Samuel B 6d It was 100% fun to watch this movie See more Evan M. @MoovieJeanYus Nov 30 Solid acting from both Anya and Miles. The movie was suspenseful when needed. The end feels rushed, but the plot overall is solid. See more Carmi A. @Slarmi Nov 29 It was ok. Love story with mystery and monsters. Got bored in the middle. See more Nov 24 This movie starts as a great thriller with a pinch of romance. I love Anya and Miles's acting. Although the second half was a bit rushed, it's still a must-watch movie with a great concept and great acting from both actors. Plus, I am a sucker for happy endings. See more Read all reviews
