The Gorge

Safe to watch

Its not perfect but nothing significantly woke

Not too terrible. A fun watch. Kind of.

I understand Anya Taylor-Joy is 5'8" and looks to be about 40kg, so she really can't be slugging around huge guns and fighting monsters, but that doesn't count much in this film. So, no woke. No extraterrestrial love affairs, no crying rooms or apologies. The Gorge is somewhat a fun film.

The only issue is that it starts out with a super cool premise, but kind of falls apart in the middle and esp. the end. The story goes in a few different directions and I wasn't really too interested in the new plot turns. Is it wrong to say I think Anya Taylor-Joy is sexy? And she's cool in this film too. Worth a watch.

Good watch, but... Petite girl kicks butt on powerful beings

Possible spoilers...
Early in the movie, it was mentioned that whatever is in the gorge defeated an army of thousands. When Drasa and Levi met up with them, the petite Drasa fought off multiple monsters and occasionally rescued Levi from peril. Other than that, this movie was non-woke and a lot better than I expected. As the plot unfolds, it becomes less "supernatural" and more Sci-Fi. It's worth the watch.

As others have mentioned Anya Taylor-Joy is pretty small and scrawny to be believable in the role. However she's never really portrayed as the super human invincible feminist' so I'm giving it a pass considering the type of the movie this is. The acting's pretty good, the FX and action scenes are well done. The story is decent and the writing isn't too bad though there are some cracks in the story and a few things that need to be ignored. Like if you don't want the two sides to interact at all then why give them clear means to see each other and communicate. Further why would you ever put a male and female counterparts
together in the first place. All in all it's a very watchable sci-fi action movie and the small writing issues are few and easy to overlook.
