Going back to the page in the first post, no, I wouldn't read past the first page.  Hell, I wouldn't read past the first paragraph.  

Going on the assumption that it's a spec script, the very first paragraph breaks a number of rules which are pretty much universally set in stone:  it's over-long (6 lines), includes camera directions and uses the dreaded "we" repeatedly.

If it was a shooting script it'd be a different story, obviously.  But based on the notion that it's spec -- no, I wouldn't bother with it.  But then I'm a stickler for the basics, so take my two cents for what they're worth.
