The Star Trek Experience at Calgary’s TELUS Spark is Must-Visit Fun for Families and Series Fans

May 4, 2017 by Kathryn 1 Comment

One of the best things about living in Canada is having so many amazing attractions and destinations that are just a short drive away. I’ve had the chance to explore quite a bit of Saskatchewan and its surrounding provinces in my lifetime, yet I’m always amazed to learn about new family-friendly spots just next door. That’s why I was so excited to be able to take the boys on a road trip to Calgary, Alberta this past weekend to check out the TELUS Spark Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy Experience!

This special exhibit is at the TELUS Spark building until June 4, 2017, and as a huge science fiction fan, I couldn’t wait to check it out. My boys, on the other hand, weren’t familiar with the Star Trek franchise, so I have to admit that I was almost as curious to see their reaction as I was to visit myself! Our tickets included admission to Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy Experience and admission to the TELUS Spark building itself, so I knew we’d all be in for one fun and educational day! [Read more…]

Enjoy High-Flying Thrills with Star Trek: Into Darkness on Blu-ray and DVD

October 9, 2013 by Kathryn 4 Comments

I have been a Star Trek fan for years now and so when the new Star Trek movie came out in 2009, I couldn’t wait to see it. Blending modern special effects with classic beloved characters, it was fun, exciting and a welcome addition to the franchise. Now, the crew of the Enterprise is back with the release of Star Trek: Into Darkness on Blu-ray and DVD. Here’s a brief synopsis of the film:

star trek into darkness box artWhen a ruthless mastermind known as Khan declares a one-man war on the Federation, Captain Kirk, Spock and the daring crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise will embark on the greatest manhunt in history. It will take all of their skills and teamwork to defend Earth and eliminate Khan’s thread in this “sleek, thrilling epic.” (Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly)

I decided this movie would be the perfect way to unwind on Saturday night and it did not disappoint. The plot was gripping, the action was nonstop and seeing Captain Kirk and his crew thwart convention to head out on a mission of revenge was a great way to spend the evening. One of the things I especially loved about this movie was the development of the relationship between James and Spock as they overcame their differences. [Read more…]
