This should be on the screen, already.

Very well done action thriller, true to its genre.
3029 is a machine against humanity thriller that plays at the action pace of a video game. Not too many lines pass without a new punch of adrenalin to thrust it forward.
The premise is not one we haven't seen before - the goal of uploading a virus into the master computer has been done often and the final scenes battling the mainframe computer are predictable, but it is done with precision as it seeks its intended goal - that being a true rock-em sock-em story beginning to end.
Personally, this is not my favorite genre, and at first I thought I'd have to push through a complicated action going nowhere story, but once the flashbacks began telling a legitimate story it began to meld into a cohesive whole, although it took to about page fifteen before that happened.
The dialogue is tongue and cheek humor mixed in with good characterization and enough emotion to keep you caring about what happens next to each protagonist, especially Mica, the female of human-machine components.
The caveat of this type movie is that it's very difficult to surprise the audience with something they haven't seen, That said, for this generation of game fanatics, this will not disappoint. I see it as a composit of several hit movies of the Terminator genre, with a savior type (Mica) last seen in The Matrix.
Its ending could have gone several ways, but I was happy with Mica disappearing into the sunset, as did George Stevens' Shane.
Best of good luck with it.

But, as Gotham Writer's handbook states:
"Screenplay writing is like poetry, except the writer has a license to
actually bend the rules of grammar." Page 191
So, with this said, "I believe everyone shouldn't worry/be concern about
proper grammar, so long as it moves us, emotionally."
I have to say, this screenplay has been through some heavy rewrites.
Lee should be complemented on reading details to where things need
work, but, like all reviews, everyone who says this/that should be changed
actually doesn't make or contribute to the formula to story-telling.
If the formula foundation is correct, then the reader will instantly
realize the idea of the writer. It isn't so hard, but it isn't so easy.
Lee, if you really want to find out why your climax isn't dynamically duoable,
is because you haven't asked yourself the question:
"Did Mica really get satisfaction from destroying those Androids?"
I hope this review offers much to understanding how important the
structure is, rather than the dialogue/character.
