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.

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]

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.

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.

First half of movie particularly strong. Enough so that it was able to carry the less compelling second half. I remember, as a kid, perceiving scary creatures being shot up as fine entertainment. But as an adult, that sort of thing doesn't hold my attention much.

The Gorge opens with an air of mystery, withholding key details in a way that effectively builds tension and intrigue. What begins as an ominous setup gradually reveals an unexpectedly tender love story at its core. While it doesn’t fully commit to the conventions of horror, the film sustains an unsettling atmosphere that lingers throughout. It’s a compelling blend of suspense and romance that’s worth watching.

This was a great movie, although it isn't a cinematic masterpiece, not all movies have to be, I don't understand why the critics hate it so much, Miles Teller and Anya Taylor Joy had amazing chemistry and the plot albeit a bit generic in some ways was still unique and original, I was surprised to know that this wasn't an adaptation of a book or video game. I would recommend this to anyone with a good taste in movies and who would like a fun, entertaining night

Absolutely loved it. Great horror movie with an amazing love story. The mystery of the gorge is a great element in the exposition. Both characters were very likable all throughout. The execution of the underworld/monsters was the only miss imo.
