Dr. Armando Lee (pictured above, left), contributing editor of the Philippine Journal of Astronomy, gave a brief lecture about stars prior to the screening. Raffle prizes were also given away by sponsors, while all attendees were treated to some light snacks.
Nido Science Discovery Center's official mascots Dr. Bunsen Burner and Sidekick were introduced. Guests were given photo opportunities with the mascots while Nido's ongoing promo for free passes was announced. Purchasing specially marked Nido Fortified or Nido 3+ packs will give Nido drinkers either big discounts or free entrance to the Nido Science Discovery Center.DarkStar Adventure is a 30-minute animated feature about a young girl named Subrah who gets left behind a dying planet by accident. Subrah needs to rely on everything she learned about science from her father in order to survive. It is shown inside the Planetarium of Nido Fortified Science Discovery Center, so the experience is all-encompassing.
Although I thought Subrah looked more alien than a human (they really should take some 3D animation pointers from the Japanese), I have mostly positive things to say about DarkStar Adventure. My 8-year old son thoroughly enjoyed the feature and I felt it effectively introduced the whole concept of stars and outer space to him. It was pretty wild to have a kid stuck in a planet that's about to be devoured by a supernova, but that just made it more exciting for the children in the audience.
