After a psychotic Egyptian god kills his father and takes his eyes, the heir to the kingdom must team up with a mortal to get his eyes back and defeat the tyrant.
I think the biggest problem with the concept is that there are two heroes – Horus and the mortal, and essentially one could write a logline for either of them. This means that the audience didn’t empathise with a particular?character and the experience was rather superficial.
Then again there were many other problems, is there a word limit for posts on this site?
See lessI.E.D is a dramatic thriller about an environmental engineer taken hostage and forced to pilot a car rigged with explosives across country. Now he must escape his captor before this rolling bomb reaches it?s destination – transcontinental oil pipeline.
Agreed with Dkpough1 it's too long and unclear. I have a few reservations regarding the concept. If he cares about the environment and knows what the destination is, why wouldn't he just crash the car along the way?

I disagree with your definition, in this film, of the main character.
Your definition – “…Protagonist-the character who has a goal, the goal which drives the story. In this case, is the terminator, and by extension, Skynet….”
Whilst you’re entitled to your opinion, I believe it stands in stark contrast to 99.9% of other people’s – which is indicative of it being wrong.
In the example you gave, according to your Terminator explanation, Darth Vader could be seen as the protagonist in Star Wars. His goal is to catch the droids so he can stop the rebels and bring order to the galaxy, in the process his troops kill Luke’s aunt and uncle and so he puts the story of Star Wars into motion – according to your logic he is the protagonist, however this is simply not true.
All antagonists in most stories have goals which they actively pursue, that doesn’t make them ?the protagonist of the story at hand. The Terminator is the antagonist, the main character, main point of view character and protagonist is Sarah, her ally and mentor is Kyle. The?inciting incident is The Terminator appearing in her time, her call to adventure is her flatmate getting killed, which forces her on the journey to fight the Terminator which she eventually kills.
This is a simple story that has very clearly defined characters, which leave very little room for debate on their nature and function in the story.
I propose the following logline for The Terminator:
