I remember this movie when I was a kid and I am not the only one. And the thing that I really like is that most of the people who have made any comments on this movie remembers seeing it on channel 5 ktla out of LA. I remember that they would show this movie on that weekend show, family film festival. I would love to see this movie in in its entirety. I have seen individual episodes on Netflix, but it is still fun to see this day. Watching them and remembering the Giant Robot with the missiles coming out of the tips of his fingers and how he would fight. Great stuff from a by gone age of film making. I would not like to see a remake of this today. I believe that they would mess it up with CGI and it would lose all that charm the first show and film had. It would be a sad day for Voyage into Space fans everywhere.

Voyage Into Space is very entertaining, despite the fact that it (a) was cobbled together from episodes of a series, (b) has some of the most mediocre special effects that you've EVER seen, and (c) has a highly repetitive story arc. What it lacks in quality it makes up with in imagination, and in the friendship between "Giant Robot" and the young boy, Johnny Sokko. It's a classic good (Giant Robot, Unicorn) versus bad (Guillotine, Gargoyle Gang) plot. But there are twists and turns, and you're never quite sure who will come out on top.I'm not a rabid Japanese movie fan, and I wasn't really big on the monster genre. But this one captured my attention so much that I saw it (literally) 20 times as a kid. I mean, what kid wouldn't want a practically indestructible giant robotic friend that followed your commands? It was fun.A side note...Months after meeting my (now) wife, we discovered that we'd BOTH seen this movie a jillion times as kids. We also argued for years over the Unicorn salute. Finally, we managed to buy a copy of the movie. Darn it, she was right on the salute. But I'll tell you, it was really fun to see that movie again. This thing was not high budget, but it accomplished something that many sci-fi blockbusters can't do today - it was memorable.The many websites for Giant Robot and Johnny Sokko let me know that there are others who, after all these years, still remember that crazy movie like I do.If you can, see it.

It has been the one movie that my brothers and I were allowed to stay up late to watch. It would sure be great to find a copy. The one movie from my childhood I enjoyed. Its nice to read that there are a lot of people who enjoyed it as much as we did. It would be cool to be able to invite my brothers and their kids over for dinner and this movie. Help me find it please!

I start out watching this film on late night TV and am following the plot about as well as could be expected. I nod off for a few minutes during a commercial break and wake up and see something completely different happening. I did this several times and concluded that the film was very episodic in nature. I didn't find out till later that it was a film made up of a bunch of episodes of a Japanese TV series all cut together in no particular order. The series was called JOHNNY SOCKO and is like a cheaper version of ULTRAMAN. If you watch it late at night, it will make you question reality until it finally puts you to sleep. Movie is fun in about 20 minute increments (if you are a fan of phoney miniatures like I am) but trying to watch the whole thing in one sitting could likely lead to a nervous breakdown.
