The Gorge (2025) is a sci-fi romantic thriller that teeters between brilliance and chaos, premiering directly on Apple TV+. Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy star as Levi and Drasa, two elite snipers stationed in opposing towers in a fog-shrouded gorge concealing a monstrous secret. Forbidden from any contact, their isolation sparks a daring connection—until the horrors of the gorge push them into a fight for survival and each other’s protection.
The dynamic between Levi and Drasa is electrifying: Teller's rugged charm complements Taylor-Joy's sharp intensity, anchoring a somewhat wobbly script with their raw chemistry. The "hollow men"—twisted, branch-like soldiers—provide a disturbing menace, although the plot falters by rushing to explain their origin. The action remains tense, with sniper duels and creature confrontations that sustain the suspense, despite a few pacing issues.
Visually, the film is breathtaking: jagged towers rise over a mist-filled abyss, shot with icy precision, while CGI creatures thrill and terrify. The soundtrack, with its tense strings and intense beats, elevates the film's tension, pulling the viewer deeper into this unsettling world.
The Gorge (2025) is an imperfect yet captivating experience, saved by the stellar performances of its leads and impressive production. It’s a gritty gem that resonates when it hits the mark.
Rating: 8/10
