Voyage Into Space

I have not seen this film in more than 25 years but I loved it as a child, and saw it at least a half dozen times. I would like to find a copy to view for nostalgia reasons, and yes, I have also never forgotten the tune of the theme music.

What can I say? The little kid inside has always had great affections for the following...giant robots, giant monsters and a cackling, megalomaniacal lead villain and this movie delivers on all counts. As an adult, it's easy to point out the many flaws in this film and to say hey it's really only a bunch of episodes taken from a children's TV series strung together. Despite all of this, I find the ending very moving and the content surprisingly adult in nature. Tremendous Fun if a little nonsensical at times.

I've seen this movie as a kid growing up and I loved it. I haven't seen it since I was a kid. It came on very often I think on KTLA(5)OR KCOP(13). If anybody know's where I can find a copy of This great movie. Please let me know. I was commenting on this movie and i just want to ask fans of this movie like i am if they have ever run across this movie since the 70's. i think that's when it came out. i would love to see this movie again even as a grown person. i know i would still enjoy Voyage Into Space all over again just as if i were a kid again. i know the movie has to be somewhere out there. I know japan has the movie somewhere in there archive. Where would you find this movie. I know maybe KTLA has it in there archives somewhere. I think they were the network that showed the movie. If anybody know's where i can get find this movie anywhere. Please let me know. ponds777

THANKS...

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!

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.
