Went through the first 16 pages or so, after that, couldn't do it.

Chars intro- formatting non-existant. Also don't use different names for the same person during the same dialogue sequense (first page, done twice).

Huge action blocks- break them down (2-3 liners or something).

Most action blocks use past tense. Use present.

There are some huge one way dialogue chunks in there. Feels unrealistic.

Many grammatical errors, punctuation etc.

I think the script needs a serious rewrite.


Features:
KTT Part ONE - The Polar Cabal
ALEXANDER - RISE OF THE PALADIN
ARAGORN - A LORD OF THE RINGS STORY
A Soul's Plea For Help

This was kind of a tough read, and I admit that I couldn't get far.  I notice that you don't use "Fade in" to kick it off, but you use "Fade to" to cut to different scenes.  Just something I wanted to point out 'cause it was kinda bugging me...

That said, congrats on finishing your screenplay.  Study the craft a bit more, read screenplays, and do some rewrites.  A lot of writing involves rewriting
