landfather This movie is so incredibly bad that you have to love it. It will keep you completely entertained the entire time you're shaking your head in disbelief. Whenever I'm impressed with someone, I call them Johnny Sakko, and they have no idea what I'm talking about. It's one to watch over and over again just to amuse and disgust yourself. Watch it, you'll be, well, um, surprised.

Space_Mafune 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.

piratechannel Ok so it didn't have the best special effects, plot, etc. But there is a lot to be said about a movie that can leave such a "great' impact on you as a kid like this film does. Back in the early 70's here in Los Angeles, TV station KTLA channel 5 (long before the WB buy out) use to show a week long series of sci fi movies. For example, if the movie of choice were "Godzilla vs Mothra," then you got a week of "Godzilla vs Mothra" and so on, it was great. Well I had the pleasure as kid to see "Voyage Into Space" many times this way. And that is mostly why I remember it so well; I too used to refer to it as the "Giant Robot" moive. I really dug the concept of a 100 foot flying robot with that "Egyptian" head piece. And who could ever forget the infamous "MEGGA PUNCH" that Giant Robot would deliver upon his foes. To me this film was no more laughable than say any of the "Godzilla" moives of the time period. And surely I enjoyed this much more than say...the "ULTRAMAN" TV series. And most of all this movie left an impact as a "feel good action kid movie," and really isn't that what it's all about? I became very lucky last year to obtain a "crude," yet "watchable" copy of the movie which I will of course cherish. And yes, I still feel the same excitement when I hear the theme and watch this film as I did when I was a kid (call me crazy). In my opinion, this movie ranks with the best of that gerne.

LJ27 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.
