Pacing Verdict
The screenplay demonstrates strong narrative momentum through its clear 5-act structure, with effective energy management in the musical sequences and the rocket-building montage. However, Act 1 (scenes 1-11) moves slowly with extended exposition and multiple time jumps, while the middle acts occasionally lose focus during the extended ping-pong sequence and Gobi's verbose dialogue. The final act resolves efficiently, but the pacing between the emotional climax in the Chamber of Exquisite Sadness and the celebratory ending feels slightly rushed.
