Una Grata Sorpresa Nunca Está de Más
Hey, what's up people from Hive Blog! This time we are back with another review, this time of a movie a bit out of the ordinary, for me, since I don't usually watch this kind of genre like Resident Evil, viruses, mutations and all that kind of stuff. This time, we will talk a little bit about The Gorge, a movie full of mystery, action, romance and a big secret to discover. Before we continue I would like to announce that this post contains spoilers for the movie, so if you haven't seen it go see it and then come back or if you don't mind, keep reading.

The Gorge, a film starring Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy, where we meet Levi (Miles Teller) and Drasa (Anya Taylor-Joy), highly trained people in terms of military training and weapons handling, both, completely unknown, have the mission to protect “The Gorge” a place where every year there is a change of guard and must ensure that whatever is in there, does not get out. Technically that would be the premise of this film, I ventured to see it only for its cover, I did not see any trailer or anything like that, and to tell the truth, I was pleasantly surprised.
As simple as that is the premise of this film and if I had to recommend it, I would say yes, it is a film that primarily fulfills its function: Entertain, it has touches of action, mystery, a bit of romance on the part of the protagonists and at the end of the day it does make you curious to know what happened in the “abyss” and what's behind all that, and I tell you, I had several surprises (maybe the fact that I had not seen the trailer influences me, and today when I am writing this I still haven't seen it) every time the film progressed.

In this film we don't have a lot of characters to remember, I would say that the most important are three, Levi, Drasa, Bartholomew (I've been learning that this character is called by that name, I don't remember that she was called by that name but well) and J.D. who is a good guy. The performances are up to par, after all Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy are very good actors committed to their work, although I have to say that perhaps as a couple do not work much visually speaking, their work together is phenomenal but honestly it is a couple that makes me much visual noise never imagine seeing them acting as a couple in a movie and now that I see them I do not end up convincing but it's just me, maybe others like it.

As I said at the beginning this post contains spoilers, and boy was I surprised when they discovered that the whole “Abyss” thing is due to a virus, I'm not a big fan of this kind of movies but this time I'm thankful I didn't see the trailer and went to see the movie right off the bat, maybe if some of that was in the trailer I probably wouldn't have seen it. This whole “Abyss” theme and how it handles it I really liked it, they generate the necessary intrigue to keep you glued to the screen wanting to know more about the mystery that surrounds it.
The soundtrack is not far behind, composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, they give excellent sound accompaniment in each of the significant moments of the film and more when the protagonists are in the abyss, this factor was the culprit for me to take a good scare, it had been a while since a film failed to do that and I have to say that here it happened.

My recommendation for this film is to see it, maybe not immediately, but I recommend you not to expect too much, a plot intriguing enough to keep you aware of every minute, a good development and outcome of the story, only entertaining to be a little more than an hour watching only two actors sharing the most screen time. I didn't know it at first but when I realized that this film comes from the director of “Black Telephone” (Scott Derrickson) I was expecting a lot since that was a film I liked a lot.

I hope you can enjoy “The Gorge” as much as I did, it's good to watch alone and with company, but honestly I think it's that kind of movie to watch after a long day, relax and watch it without company while you eat something or just have a good cup of coffee!
