The Gorge: A Sci-Fi Mashup That Fails to Make Waves
As a movie critic, I must confess that “The Gorge” kept me hooked from the start, with its central enigma — the sinister secret hidden within the misty canyon — captivating my attention. However, once the mystery was unveiled, the film’s credibility and intrigue seemed to dissipate like the fog itself. Director Scott Derrickson infused the movie with style, but it lacked that certain something to truly set it apart.
In the realm of modern sci-fi films starring just two protagonists, “The Gorge” finds itself in a peculiar position. It may not reach the heights of ‘Gravity’, the brilliant George Clooney and Sandra Bullock collaboration, but it definitely outshines ‘Passengers’, the lackluster effort from Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt.
