What were you trying to say? This mistake is on thefirst page------------------------It's the story of a beautiful and how it was saved the an unexpect act of love."

This mistake is also on the first page. There should be a question mark.----CHRIS
Does it have Action."

More mistakes on the same page- "Alrum is was the biggest most
beautiful kingdom of all the land.
Ran by the Sith family for many
generations. They were a long line
of great kings, but one king didn't
leave up the Sith family name and
he's people rebeled and the crown
of Alrum was lead by the Wist
family for one generation before it
back in the hands of the Sith
family. This is that story."

I haven't even completed reading the first page and I have found many errors.

On the second page I noticed you use a passive tense which is incorrect when writing a script (or so I have read).

That's it for now.

I suggest you -reread your script. I found mistakes similar to those made on page one throughout the beginning of the script (and I am sure the remainder of the script)

Thanks, I have a bad habit of going through it to fast and messing a lot of mistakes, I'll take another shot at it.

Also, the logline needs to be completely trashed in my opinion. It reads like a run-on sentence. People have short attention spans. If your logline rambles on and is confusing then most likely your script will be the same way. Be concise.
