Working on a Sci fi movie looking for a structural feedback
Hi everyone, I am about 50% Into writing a Sci fi script and could be some outside perspective on structure and pacing
Logline:A scientist's experiment on a distant planet leads to a unintended consequences and years later he finds his own creation has become both a threat and a religion back on earth
Genre: Sci-fi/drama , with philosophical and mythological undertones(comparison I'd draw Interstellar's emotional core+a "creator vs creation" them like Frankenstein)
Where I am stuck-balncing 3 tonal layers hard sci-fi elements, emotional character drama and a mythological/religion angle-without anyone overpowering the others.Also working on making the protagonist feel commanding the memorable without turning into a generic "choosen one" archetype
Would love to hear how others have handled multi layered tone balancing or any resources on structuring a script with a strong moral dilemma and it's climax (protagonist forced to choose between two groups he's connected to
