This Valentine Day,  a new action romance movie hits Apple TV+. Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy star in this film as two elite operatives who are stationed in guard towers on opposite sides of a top-secret, sprawling gorge. They are tasked with safeguarding the world from a hidden, ominous force. Together, they ensure the secret within remains contained.

What follows is The Good, The Bad, and NO Spoilers of The Gorge.

The Good – I’m not sure why The Gorge was released exclusively on Apple TV+ instead of hitting theaters, as it excels in both action and romance. The creatures from inside the gorge, the hollowmen, are eerie, mysterious, and shown to audiences early in the film. Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy have fantastic chemistry, exchanging witty banter and playing off each other effortlessly. This is even done well at long distance, from opposite sides of a gorge. The mystery keeps audiences engaged, leaving them puzzled yet satisfied, as the film ties up all loose ends—something not always common in this genre.

The Bad – Since The Gorge was released for home viewing, many audiences will be watching it in a typical living room or bedroom rather than a home theater. This presents a challenge, as much of the film—including key suspenseful action sequences—takes place in very dark settings. Any glare on the screen can make these scenes difficult to see, diminishing the experience. The best way to fully appreciate the film’s visuals is to watch it at night with all the lights off.

 My Overall Opinion – I give The Gorge a solid 8 out of 10. Although I would rather say you need to see this one in theaters, sadly that is not an option. If you have Apple TV+, you should give this one a watch!
