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.

Audience Says

The Gorge is a narratively uneven but conceptually strong sci-fi entry that benefits greatly from the chemistry between Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller.

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.

The Gorge is proof that even with a talented cast and a massive budget, you can still dig yourself into a hole. Or, perhaps, a gorge.

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]

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.

The Gorge caught me completely off guard—in the best possible way. I expected a sci-fi action movie with monsters and mystery, but what I didn’t expect was a genuinely touching romance at its core. The chemistry between the two leads gives the film its emotional weight, making you care about them as much as whatever is lurking below. Is every plot point perfect? No. But the movie has style, atmosphere, strong performances, and enough heart to make its genre mash-up work. Sometimes it’s okay for a movie to simply be entertaining, and The Gorge absolutely delivers. As long as you don’t overthink it.

First half is unbelievably boring and dumb. Borderline nonsense. Not believable and incredibly stupid. The woman does the worst fake accent I've ever heard in a movie. After the half way point there's skeleton vine monsters and a basic story to follow.

One of the better AppleTV movies that I have watched. The casting was solid, the premise was fun, and the twists and turns were entertaining. I wouldn’t say it’s the greatest movie, but it’s pretty dang good. Really hope they decide to do something more with the IP.

A fun ride. Decent effects. Interesting and unique story even if a bit far-fetched.

Great movie. The love story was convincing. They both acted very well and it had a great story. And I love the ending.
