Ortal, sorry couldnt read this as the formatting is so far off standard... If you want people to read this and provide feedback it is worth fixing the formatting.

Id start with the software you are using, maybe consider Writer Duet or Celtx and then look at how scripts are formatted, theres plenty of examples on this site and others.

Ortal,

Some notes.

I had a very hard time getting through this.  Lots of formatting issues as well as mangled English.  I don't think English is your first language.  The story idea seems sound--messages from the future.  However, the implementation doesn't work for me.  It's pretty standard fare.

I suggest you find a good editor or mentor who can help you with the script's deficiencies.  I also recommend you read many, many scripts in order to get a feel of good dialogue and story structure.

Best
Richard

Ortal - I'll echo the comments above - I was interested in the premise - it was just too hard to get through format wise.
