Pass. Same generic plot (saving humanity...yarn), no new twist to make me read script. Focus on main character's goal.

the long logline has punctuation errors.

Indigo children were a new-agey popular idea for a hot minute, but they are long gone and weren't too interesting at the time, IMO

“unaware” and “unwitting” are so over used in loglines. It is up there with “bunch of misfits” or “shy teen”. How does a Jaded Paramedic add to the logline?

What is the emotional centre of the story?

“Dark forces” is also a meaningless thing in this context. This is not your story, but an example.

Learning that he is a reincarnated warrior a man teams with a team of fellow reincarnates to prevent an ancient force from xxxxxxx.

xxxxxx could be trigger a nuclear conflict, open a portal to hell, whatever you like.
