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.

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.

First of all, the concept itself was fresh, and the romance between the two main characters was decent. Above all, the movie didn't feel boring even after about two hours, and the acting wasn't bad either. Initially, I thought the movie would be a fantasy monster film or one with aliens, as the trailer mentioned a monster. However, this film is actually a sci-fi action romance based entirely on scientific conspiracy theories.

That said, there were some parts in the middle where the plausibility was lacking, and the plot wasn't as meticulously crafted as it could have been, which made me lower my rating. Overall, though, it's still a movie worth watching.

This kind of action-romance film usually brings to mind the old-fashioned notion of chivalry, where a man is expected to sacrifice himself unilaterally for a woman. However, in an era where both men and women enlist in the military regardless of gender, such clichés feel outdated and old-school. What makes this film truly moving is that both the man and the woman sincerely and coolly sacrifice for each other, overcoming hardships together.

Last but not least, the idea of characters in a movie sharing love and hinting at the future through poetry and quotes really resonated with me, and it made me want to indulge in poetry again. In this age of AI content creation, it felt like a classic yet refreshing approach.

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.
