What to Know

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. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) 05/08/2025
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 Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News 03/03/2025
2/4
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. Go to Full Review Marta Medina Pérez mundoCine Aug 22
3/5
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.

3.5/5
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 Read all reviews

Anthony F @anthonyfares 1d Stealthy, expensive, and scary! Once upon a time during the theatre golden era this wouldn’t been a box office classic. I mention expensive because the special effect are just so well made! More Quality over quantity in the Apple TV vs. Netflix war! See more Daisy C @Daisy1722 1d It’s entertaining, which is what you want. There are parts that are dumb, but then there are parts that are not dumb. See more Jorge A @jorgepuffs 2d Qué buena película! The Gorge me sorprendió mucho por la forma en que combina acción, ciencia ficción, terror, suspenso y romance sin que se sienta demasiado forzado. Las escenas de acción están muy bien hechas y la atmósfera de terror me recordó bastante a The Last of Us. Lo que más me gustó fue la relación entre los protagonistas, porque el romance funciona muy bien dentro de toda la tensión y el peligro. Eso sí, me hubiera gustado conocer un poco más sobre la vida de ambos antes de llegar al desfiladero, ya que prácticamente solo nos cuentan que son grandes francotiradores. Aun así, me pareció una película muy entretenida, con una historia interesante y una mezcla de géneros que funciona bastante bien See more Mike K @SlaughterLane 3d The scenes are interesting. The actors are fun to watch. With this and Lucky, Anya Taylor Joy is carving out a nice snitch for herself as an action star who can act Yes, the chemistry between her and Miles Teller is very good, but I think it’s mostly from her. It’s a romantic comedy in the most unusual of settings with two Expert snipers guarding a gorge full of unexplained creatures. The film changes dramatically when they move from the romance to the true nature of what’s in the gorge. I thought it worked both from the aspect of a romantic comedy and an action/horror film. That can’t be easy to do. So, nice job. See more Frank E @Franksmovies 4d Very well-done movie. Excellent acting. It checked all of the boxes for me. See more Guille G @RT69317507 5d El desfiladero es una película que atrae, simplemente se deja ir llevando por las distintas giros que toma el guión. Se disfruta plenamente. disfrutarás.
