What's at stake? Clearly show the viewers what the stakes are- what the protagonist most values and what will be lost if the antagonist wins.
When a story lacks tension it is usually because,
a. the stakes were poorly defined
b. the stakes were not set high enough
c. the antagonist is not threatening enough
(from Neil Landau)
