The Gorge Reviews
Love in the time of <i>Cordyceps</i>.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 5, 2025
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.
| Original Score: C- | Apr 4, 2025
An intriguing genre hybrid with compelling conspiracy concepts unfortunately suffocates beneath derivative flourishes, video game aesthetics and poorly structured characterizations. But Sigourney Weaver looks fantastic.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 20, 2025
Too absurd to take seriously.
| Original Score: B- | Mar 9, 2025
For the most part, The Gorge is enjoyable, a very silly idea executed very well.
| Mar 7, 2025
Sets up an intriguing premise but fails to deliver on its potential, especially in its second half
| Original Score: 4/10 | Mar 6, 2025
A fun idea that starts strong, loses its commitment in the middle and ends with an uninteresting, unmemorable whimper.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 4, 2025
The Grorge has its glitches, but overall, it provides plenty of action/horror fun.
| Original Score: B | Mar 3, 2025
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.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 3, 2025
As an exercise in Lovecraftian horror, it’s a hoot. [It] gradually doles out morsels of tangible information, but it weaponizes our curiosity and anxieties of the unknown for longer than one might reasonably expect.

While the plot isn't particularly innovative and some of the CGI could have been polished further, the well-developed chemistry between Teller and Taylor-Joy keeps the story engaging.
| Feb 28, 2025
Silly premise with only two attractive, engaging stars.
| Feb 27, 2025
It may be lean on story, but its character work sets it apart from other direct to streaming films like this feel like a bloated CGI mess.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 25, 2025
Perhaps it should be renamed "The Bog" as it gets mired down in too much setup for what is ultimately a paint by numbers action film that feels like it would've been better served as the tutorial level of a video game (with no shade to video games).
| Original Score: 2.8/5 | Feb 25, 2025
Credit must be given to [Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller], as they make these shared moments between their characters so heartwarmingly beautiful. [...] We want them to survive and find a way to be with each other, no matter what it takes.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 25, 2025
The Gorge could have been a completely predictable Sci-Fi thriller, and at times it is, but the romance throughline makes it unique.
| Feb 24, 2025
Had The Gorge stuck more strictly to the romance, it would overall be a much better film. Unfortunately, once Levi and Drasa become physically intimate, the movie pivots to a strict action-thriller and becomes almost distressingly predictable.
| Feb 24, 2025
The Gorge boasts a decent premise but one that could have used some fine-tuning.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 24, 2025
The script is equal parts juicy and loose, but in the hands of Scott Derrickson, 'The Gorge' is ultimately worth gorging oneself on.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 24, 2025
Has a couple of very good-looking people—Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy—but like most streaming movies, it looks terrible.
