Dismantling 'Super Marines' with the Black Beat Sheet

I just finished reading the scriptwriter's book "Save the Cat" written by Blake Snyder, and it is appropriate to disassemble "Super Marines" with Blake's beat table in the book -
Blake divides the script structure of Hollywood movies into 15 parts, similar to For the 12 stages in "The Writer's Journey", I personally feel that Blake's rhythm table is more suitable for watching movies, and you can fill in each paragraph in the movie to the corresponding position. The movie "Super Marines" completely uses the structure mode of "The Writer's Journey" or "Save the Cat":
