Pacing Verdict
The screenplay maintains strong narrative momentum and a brisk scene-to-scene flow, particularly in the action-heavy second half, which aligns well with its 5-act adventure structure. However, the first act feels somewhat rushed in establishing the real-world characters and their motivations, while the middle section (entering the Overworld, village scenes) has minor rhythm issues with exposition and humor that slightly disrupt the forward drive. The balance of tension and release is effectively managed within the film's own logic, with energetic set pieces and clear escalation, though some character beats in the real-world setup could benefit from slightly more breathing room.
