Voyage Into Space

Glad I found this. Took me back decades. Fun to watch. As a movie, its pretty cheesy...but hey, what do you expect?? Suspend reality or any expectations and enjoy the ride. Life is short.

Finally on Blu-ray. The picture quality is as good as I’ve ever seen it (and I’ve seen or owned some poor quality prints) so I am very happy to have it. Brings back all of those good childhood Saturday afternoon memories. It’s amazing how much a young mind supplies to the missing pieces of a movie and that’s rarely truer than on “Voyage Into Space” which cobbles together about 100 minutes of footage of the “Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot” TV series into a whiz bang never resting for a moment series of alien espionage encounters of Johnny and his adult James Bondish compatriot who battle the garish Gargoyle gang while his giant Egyptianized indestructible robot battles some of the weirdest giant aliens that have ever graced the small screen. Seeing a giant bowling ball that sprouts nodal “arms” that can fire missiles and grappling hooks leaves an impression but there are some truly mind-blowing (and bending) encounters with none topping the giant floating eyeball which ends up sprouting legs. Mind you this is live action with practical effects! And it has to be seen to be believed! Believe it! Quality aside 5,000,000 stars!

The pic quality is not 1080p blu ray 1st of all. It is very surprising that the 20 or so reviews I read dont talk about the falsely advertised August Ragone audio commentary. There is none!!!! Anyways buy the 2013 release of the Johnny Sokko Giant Robot tv series on DVD which I recently bought on Amazon which has a very good picture and actually is 11 and a half hours long compared to the only 98 minutes of this movie!!! And believe me the DVD series is pretty good quality too. On the Voyage into Space blu ray case it says nowhere anything about an August Ragone audio commentary!!!! Not is to be found on the disc menu!!! I will be letting August Ragone know about this and I will be returning it. If it wouldve at least had the audio commentary I probably wouldve kept it because the picture quality is a little better ( not much though ) than the DVD series. I give it 3 stars because the movie is like 720 p quality ( barely). If Shout Factory put this out or Tokyo Shock you can best believe there would be what it is said to be Forget Scorpion Releasing too.

Thank you.

I loved watching Johnny Sokko when I was a kid. Its still a favorite of mine. This movie included several of the adventures faced by Johnny Sokko and the Giant Robot.

The first time I saw this movie was back around 1976. It played for 5 nights in a row on channel 5 KTLA. I loved it then and still do. We called him Giant Robot
