3 movies you must watch if you enjoyed watching The Gorge

After going guns blazing in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga's barren wastelands, it was time for Anya Taylor-Joy to do the same in The Gorge. Joining her is Miles Teller, who had a tough run destroying that air base in Top Gun: Maverick but not before being subject to a drug experiment in Spiderhead opposite Chris Hemsworth.

Miles and Anya play Levi and Drasa, respectively, who fall in love with each other because there's no human other than them as they are appointed on towers standing opposite sides of a gorge. According to their contracts, there's a no-communication protocol during the mission that's supposed to go on for a year. But the man can't resist the only girl next door. Well, she lured him in by breaking the protocol.

The film has mysterious elements; no one tells them what kind of alien dwells in the gorge. It's kind of a dystopia in itself—at least that region is. But they eventually find out the dirty secrets of the authorities, and now they must expose the truth.

If you like the film, we have 3 recommendations that, for better or worse, play out similar themes. It's mostly the mystery at play in them.

3 films like The Gorge

3. Oblivion

The Olga Kurylenko and Tom Cruise starrer film doesn't simply share similarity with The Gorge but also with Dune. But we don't talk about the latter here because it may spoil the fun for Dune: Messiah, which is currently in development. Though we can tell you that Jason Momoa will return via a similar technology that's used in this film.

Anyway, Cruise is Jack, not Reacher, but Harper, a technician working on now almost abandoned Earth. Like The Gorge, there are just a couple of people, him and Victoria (Andrea Riseborough). But there are some scavengers there, though whether they are humans or not is really for you to find out in the movie. We'll make it a bit arousing for you; one of them is Morgan Freeman.

2. The Mist

There's literally some serious amount of mist in The Gorge and The Mist, though the latter has way too much of it. The film is an adaptation of one of Stephen King's works and revolves around a mysterious mist surrounding the town of Bridgeton, Maine.

We can't really talk about the film's ending, but believe us when we say this: you'll be left unnerved after watching the final act. Sometimes, people just lose everything for nothing.

1. Annihilation

Thor films’ Natalie Portman (Jane Foster) and Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie) joined hands in this one. The Gorge shares mutations with Annihilation, where the most striking one is between humans and plants. Though they are unique in their own rights, the similarity is just uncanny.
