Review: "The Gorge"

Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy do their best to keep this implausible action film (and equally improbable romance) from sinking into absurdity, and they sort of succeed.

The stars of AppleTV+'s The Gorge take their roles seriously, despite some wild shifts in tone between romance and horror. (When their flirting is interrupted by crazy-looking creatures attacking them, they snap right back to their dalliance as if without further thought. What?!)

They also carry off the action sequences with aplomb. Their efforts compensate for an ambitious script that isn't totally sure of the tone it's going for, and a farfetched storyline forced to explain itself too simplistically through a found video. Sigourney Weaver is also disappointingly underused.
