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.

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.
What resonated with audiences
'The Gorge' garners mixed reviews for its unique concept and engaging performances by Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy, alongside impressive visuals.
