The Gorge

It's soooo romantic! And at the same time totally freaky and bit scary. It's a really confusing mix. My heart was melting and stressed out alternately and at the same times. 😍😱

The underlying story is also told in a good and interesting way. They didn't rush it, but also didn't take more time than needed. The movie felt well finished and the combination of romance and action/horror was nicely done and enjoyable... despite my rapidly changing state of heart. 🌟

The main actors were really good as well and had a nice chemistry, that translated well onto on the screen. 😏

Can definitely recommend the movie.

Finally an action movie where i actually care about the characters and am rooting for them against a hateable villian. This is down to a good story that pits good individuals against secret governments and private corporate military project. Think X-Files type storyline with a little 'Stranger Things' vibe thrown in, add a heavy dose of action when elite soldiers rebel against their deceitful and murderous masters. Also a good script which does well setting up and building the story. Good action scenes which are exciting and tense. The two leads have a great chemistry and their relationship adds to the high tensions as the story unfolds. Sigourney Weaver is great in her cameo as are the other 2 suppporting actors. The film is tightly edited with no wasted scenes and even though it is over 2 hours it is really a thrilling ride from start to finish. For me it is very hard to find a movie as entertaining as this in the last decade.

The Acting Anya Taylor-Joy is a great actress. She adds believability to her role by the way she delivers her lines. It is like she is a sniper not just playing one. Same thing will Teller. It's amazing what real actors can do with a story that has been told many times. These two put a new twist on an old story and they make work. Sigourney Weaver was a real surprise who did a good job in a supporting role.

The Story The movie had excellent pace. The action scenes were very well done.

The writing was excellent. Having good lines to deliver by the actors keeps your interest.

Anya and Teller have very good on screen chemistry. You never feel like they are just saying their lines. It would be great to see these two in a sequel but the story doesn't lend itself to a part 2.

I watched this on a whim but chose it for the cast. Was quickly enjoying the movie that constantly moved into new territory with the story.

And believe it or not, it had a pretty great love story something that is really hard to achieve within the genere of horror / sci-fi.

The characters were fun to get invested in and their relationship really made the movie compared to movies that have all action but we just couldn't care less if they died.

I do think it helped that I saw no trailers for the film. That really made it something I could enjoy without having any expectations. If your looking for a good sci fi, I recommend it.

It was good to watch an uncomplicated linear story with nobody trying to be the next great film.

It just a solid narrative story with a bit of action, some fantastical elements to bring it all together, mystery and a little romance to spice it up.

We have a very small cast, limited sets and special effects which all goes with the narrative well.

This would have gone bad if it had a bigger budget, but this is just a solid, entertaining movie. Everyone from the writing directing. Camera, actors, special effects all just delivered quality.

I had given up on Hollywood been able to create these sort of movies. I assume the budget was small and all the parts just work.
