Info

Earth is invaded by an interstellar terrorist group, Big Fire (the Gargoyle Gang in the American version), led by Emperor Guillotine who spends most of his time in a multicolored space ship hidden at the bottom of Earth's ocean, from which he issues his orders. Big Fire is capturing scientists to create an army of monsters to conquer Earth. A boy named Daisaku Kusama (Johnny Sokko in the American version) and a young Unicorn agent named Jūrō Minami (Jerry Mano in the American version) are shipwrecked on an island after being attacked by a sea monster and subsequently captured by Big Fire. They flee to where a Pharaoh-like giant robot is being built by captive scientist Lucius Guardian, who gives Daisaku and Jūrō its control device. Guardian helps them escape before he is shot to death; before he dies, he triggers an atomic bomb which destroys the base. The radiation activates the robot, which now obeys only Daisaku.

Voyage Into Space Audience Reviews

Mjeteconer Just perfect...
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
milescorn 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.
metalskin-1 OK, I admit it, I'm 40 and still shed a tear every time I watch Johnny calling back his Robot at the end."Robot, now stop! Don't do it, stop the attack...Robot, what are you doing, Robot... Robot, where are you going…Robot, come back! Robot...Robot please! Don't do it, you'll die... Robot... Robot, please comeback! I need you here…Giant Robot... Robot! Giant Robot…" -Johnny Sokko, The Last of Emperor GuillotineOf all the Tokusatsu thats out there, Giant robot has a special place in my heart and will always be there. I credit it with getting me into everything sci-fi and anime when i was a kid. LIVE ON GR!
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.
Ged-12 This movie is truly amazing,over the years I have acquired a taste for Japanese Monster movies and am well aware that early examples of this genre can be poor. However this one reaches a new low, as it follows the adventures of Johnny Sokko(?), a young boy who controls a Giant Robot, and his fight against the evil Gargoyle Gang, who seem to have an endless supply of horrid giant monsters at their disposal.
