Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

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.

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!

Cobbled together from several episodes of JOHNNY SOKKO AND HIS FLYING ROBOT (made to compete with ULTRAMAN, only with a much smaller budget), VOYAGE INTO SPACE is one of the few such cut-and-paste movies that actually works. This used to run on New York city's 4:30 MOVIE show in the blessed pre-Oprah days of the late '70's and early '80's and many a kid in the tri-state area still recalls this one with great fondness.The plot (?) follows the adventures of Johnny Sokko, a 10-year-old kid who becomes an agent of the top-secret agency UNICORN and incidentally happens to be the only person who can control Giant Robot, a 200-foot-tall engine of destruction who looks like a cross between the Tin Woodsman and a pharoah. They oppose hostile extra-terrestrial Emperor Guillotine from the planet Gargoyle (and his henchmen, the Gargoyle gang), who has at his disposal an endless variety of ass-kicking (and phony) giant monsters. One of these is the Nucleon, which looks like a bunch of traffic cones that have been hot-glued together and rolled into camera range. There's also a bargain basement sea monster, a silver-faced dude in a clown suit, and much, much more. If this ever comes on tv again, tape it immediately and show it to your friends who will be slack-jawed with astonishment. Fun for kids and drunks of all ages!

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.
