FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://talkingfilms.net/the-gorge-review-a-well-crafted-genre-blend-with-strong-performances/ "The Gorge may not be a revolution in this genre blend, but it stands out for its stylish execution, imaginative creature design, and the engaging chemistry between its leads. Scott Derrickson once again proves his talent for balancing action, suspense, and emotion, crafting a highly entertaining home blockbuster that, despite lacking deeper development in some of its most fascinating narrative elements, keeps audiences invested from start to finish. In the end, it's a film that thrives on captivating performances, well-orchestrated tension, and the way it transforms a simple premise into a visually striking experience." Rating: B+

## Story: 9 **A gorge shrouded in mystery** At first it appears as a typical adventure or action story but as the film progress, it is slowly revealed to be about a place shrouded in mystery. The flow kept the audience guessing but only to find out it's totally something unexpected. ## Visuals: 9 **It gave me the feels of Guild Wars 2 and World of Warcraft** It was awesome. I kept wondering where the location was, if it even exists. The special effects and design, most especially at the critical part of the story, were beautifully done. As a gamer, it gave me a sense of the places from Guild Wars 2 and World of Warcraft. ## Sound: 8 **It was immersive** The sound effects were great and perfectly timed. It helped in building the mystery and suspense. It was immersive. ## Character: 8 **Done perfectly** The main characters were fit for the story. Ordinary people, or snipers, who only wanted to survive and serve their country. People with special skills but at the end of the day, are no different than everyone else. The character backgrounds were not lacking nor it took too much time, and the rest of the character development brought out the basic need of human beings. ## Enjoyment: 10 **Kept me on my seat** I truly enjoyed watching this movie. Being able to bring me into the story, ensuring I don't spend time analyzing the plot, was an experience I rarely have these days. This movie was did that and kept me on my seat.

The woman is hot. It's a cool setup. Kind of but...why do the automatic guns not work the first attack and why are the mines set to explode the fence (defence) as well as the Ents? Seems just kind of dumb. Are these the first two to bridge the gap? None of the romance matters. They are both just horny and no build up before he goes over there. This movie is long, boring and pointless. Wait, Corporations are evil. All they care about is money. They don't value human life. They don't value the environment and LOOK AT THE HORRORS WE HAVE CREATED!!!!!
