Voyage Into Space

If you're in the mood for a blast from the past with a side of mecha-mayhem, "Voyage Into Space (Special Edition) [Blu-ray]" is your ticket to a nostalgic ride. This made-for-TV movie, a splice-and-dice masterpiece of the series "Johnny Sokko and his Giant Flying Robot," is a love letter to the era of rubber monster suits and city-stomping robots.The star of the show, "Giant Robot," is as charismatic as a hunk of metal can get. Its design screams 70s cool, and its heroic antics are the stuff of Saturday morning legends. The Blu-ray edition does justice to the original, with a picture quality that's as sharp as Giant Robot's laser beams. The sound? It's like you're right there wearing your Unicorn watch, giving the commands.What's really impressive is how the episodes have been edited together. It's not just a lazy cut-and-paste job; there's a rhythm to it that feels cinematic. And the redub? It's got all the charm of the original without all the cringe-worthy moments that sometimes plague vintage dubs."Voyage Into Space" isn't just for the kids or the adults—it's for anyone who appreciates the sheer joy of storytelling. It's for those who don't mind a bit of cheese with their action, who can laugh at the absurdity and cheer at the heroics. It's a reminder of why we fell in love with sci-fi in the first place: the boundless imagination, the clear-cut battles between good and evil, and, of course, the giant robots.In short, "Voyage Into Space (Special Edition) [Blu-ray]" is a must-watch. It's a piece of history, a work of art, and a heck of a good time. So grab your popcorn, suspend your disbelief, and get ready to shout "Giant Robot, attack!" You won't regret it.

I have a couple grandsons 8 and 9 I put this movie on repeat at my house, they love it, they quote dialogue from this English soundtrack, it is so cute and funny, my daughter and son in law have no idea what they're talking about but, there ok not dead, and there absolute favorite is "YOU LIER" its a ok print of this flick, the soundtrack is the best, if you have little boys and they like dinosaurs, ninjas, and flying robots, you need this movie,

It’s a great retro movie if you love old Japanese type movies, the sci-fi and effects are good for the time and the merchant shipped it timely packed it well

I wish they had a higher quality DVD...but it is what it is, and at least I can watch a classic.

The presentation and the DVD viewing quality is amazing!

Yes, the picture quality is less than perfect, but a pristine print of this rare film does not exist. Voyage Into Space is cheesy fun, and Sinister Cinema is to be praised for preserving it. Know going in: This film contains giant rubber monsters who smash toy tanks, secret agencies with names like Unicorn and Gargoyle, an evil space alien named Emperor Guillotine and a giant robot controlled by a boy who communicates with it through a Dick Tracy like wristwatch. And that's just for starters. This film ain't Citizen Kane, nor does it pretend to be. It's for fans of weird, obscure, but mostly cheesy movies.

The pic quality is not 1080p blu ray 1st of all. It is very surprising that the 20 or so reviews I read don't 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 would've at least had the audio commentary I probably would've 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.

This is a hard to find movie classic from the 60's. Good copy and plays well.
