    I loved this movie as a child

    I have not seen this film in more than 25 years but I loved it as a child, and saw it at least a half dozen times. I would like to find a copy to view for nostalgia reasons, and yes, I have also never forgotten the tune of the theme music.

    Anyone know where I can find a copy!

    It has been the one movie that my brothers and I were allowed to stay up late to watch. It would sure be great to find a copy. The one movie from my childhood I enjoyed. Its nice to read that there are a lot of people who enjoyed it as much as we did. It would be cool to be able to invite my brothers and their kids over for dinner and this movie. Help me find it please!

    RANKS WITH THE BEST OF THAT GENRE

    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.

    VOYAGE INTO SPACE

    I've seen this movie as a kid growing up and I loved it. I haven't seen it since I was a kid. It came on very often I think on KTLA(5)OR KCOP(13). If anybody know's where I can find a copy of This great movie. Please let me know. I was commenting on this movie and i just want to ask fans of this movie like i am if they have ever run across this movie since the 70's. i think that's when it came out. i would love to see this movie again even as a grown person. i know i would still enjoy Voyage Into Space all over again just as if i were a kid again. i know the movie has to be somewhere out there. I know japan has the movie somewhere in there archive. Where would you find this movie. I know maybe KTLA has it in there archives somewhere. I think they were the network that showed the movie. If anybody know's where i can get find this movie anywhere. Please let me know. ponds777

    THANKS...

    I loved it!

    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.

    • Trivia
      This film is well remembered by Generation X youth in Los Angeles, California because it ran regularly on KTLA TV in the 1970s. This network ran a specific horror film or science fiction film for one entire week during that decade at about the time that children would get home from school.
    • Goofs
      Johnny Sokko and Jerry Mano frequently sit in the palm of Giant Robot's supine hand while flying but when seen at a distance, the robot's hands are held laterally, which would result in the passengers being dropped.
