The Gorge | The Movie My Life

Weeks ago, I doubted the quality of Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller’s latest action/adventure/fantasy film, The Gorge, purely based on the trailer.

Luckily, especially after the recent disappointment of George Clooney and Brad Pitt’s Wolfs (2024), among one or two other movies that failed to deliver, I’m happy to confirm that I didn’t find The Gorge boring or bad.

In a story about two highly skilled operatives hired to protect a mysterious gorge, Taylor-Joy and Teller are well cast for a couple of reasons, including their chemistry. Sigourney Weaver and Sope Dirisu were also memorable.

So pleasant was my surprise to be truly enjoying The Gorge, that the following words came to mind as the movie played.

Hello, good story, special effects, and engaging execution.

Taylor-Joy and Teller sure move very convincingly as capable snipers.

Look at me liking this movie and eating my words.

Watch The Gorge if you’re curious. Perfect, it is not. What it is is fun, satisfying and romantic.

Happy Film Loving,

Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Gorge (2025).

Apple TV+’s latest sci-fi outing stars Anya Taylor Joy, Sigourney Weaver Sope Dirisu and Miles Teller.

Directed by Scott Derrickson; Joy and Teller play two highly skilled operatives hired to protect a mysterious gorge.

I want this to be good. However, there’s something about it that’s suggesting it may not be. What exactly that something is, I’m not sure yet.

What I know for sure is that the whole situation feels like a set-up. Of course they were always going to connect, two single attractive people with no one but each other for company for a whole year. Maybe this is the part that I’m mad about. The obvious error of it all. Unless… their superiors chose them because they knew that connection was inevitable., and necessary for the mission. One wonders.

Are your fingers also crossed for a positive result, or are you more hopeful?

Sachin Bhatt, William Houston, Julianna Kurokawa, Alessandro Garcia, Samantha Coughlan, Alessandro Garcia, Greta Hansen, József Tálos, Adam Scott-Rowley and Larisa Munoz Mejia also star.

The Gorge Release Dates: February 14th, 2025 (US & UK), Apple TV +…
