Blacklist Reader:
Fans of the arena should enjoy the story, as it deals with themes of identity and community, as the persecuted chase a magical MacGuffin manuscript which holds the key to survival, as opposing sides have long chased it throughout history. The writer's passion and knowledge for the genre are present on every page, as they throw ample set pieces at their characters, which crescendos into a powerful third act and resolution. Contemporary Hollywood is increasingly embracing fantasy films mixed with more sophisticated writing, and this story could be a good fit for managers seeking to expand this avenue of their roster.
Scriptwolf:
Story: Excitement from the very first page, a lot of elements but I think the rewatchability of this movie will be high because of it.
Premise: There is always an audience for science fiction or fantasy films and I think this story will absolutely appeal to modern fans of the genre.
Overall, the plot of Becoming Immortal is a well-executed story. The narrative is coherent, the stakes are high, and the characters have clear and distinct goals. The reader likes the concept of a search for an ancient text that nullifies religions. The women characters are strong and admirable. Very compelling and original. Other story elements that distinguish Becoming Immortal from its competitors are its twists and turns. Becoming Immortal is never quite what you think it is. It starts out as an ancient story about a sacred scroll that must be hidden from the Romans; it then transforms into an adventure with present-day archeologists and priests working together to recover the ancient scrolls; finally it crystalizes into a sci-fi conspiracy involving evil aliens wanting to prevent human beings from reaching their full potential. While all of these elements are traditionally told as individual stories, Becoming Immortal does a stellar job of uniting these disparate concepts and creating a truly unique and exciting adventure for audiences of all ages to enjoy.

The characters of Becoming Immortal are, for the most part, well-crafted. Your storytelling skills are demonstrated well with this script. It’s always a smart idea to write about things happening now and this script definitely feels of the time. The way technology is involved and the pandemic element makes this very recognizably the 2020s but the story itself has universal and timeless appeal. Fantasies and science fiction help audiences to see their own world in a different way and I love how you have captured that spirit for our present generation.
Hopefully you’re able to find something of value in my notes as you move forward with this project. You have proven yourself to be a talented writer! Your vision is so clear and I can tell you’re passionate about the story. I look forward to seeing where you take it from here!
