Voyage Into Space

arrived fast and even though picture is a bit grainy it is still pretty good quality considering this movie is over 30 years old

Good movie

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.

Good movie. I just think the quality wasnt all that great. Its amazing what software can do to restore old film. They shouldve used it on such a cult classic such as this one. Ive seen old 1930s movies restored to such clarity and the sound is amazing. But, I understand that sometimes it depends on what material is available. But, still, they couldve worked a little harder to make this one a great presentation.

Okay, I dont know if this is an illegal copy or not. I suppose it depends on if the film is in public domain or not. Regardless, this was recorded using a Panasonic DVD recorder (I recognize the menu). I assume its been copied from an old VHS copy. Its watchable, but the quality is comparable to an old, overused VHS tape.

Ok, short and sweet, HORRIBLE VHS to DVD-R copy and on top of this mess the movie is tagged throughout with SC for Sinister Cinema. Whats wrong with you sinister cinema? I wouldnt lay claim to this LOUSY copy at all, even a free copy is to much. Your production of this classic flick is a slap in the face. I will never buy another production from you EVER.

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!

This is a DVD-R not even a real DVD. I intend to ask Amazon if this is even a legal copy, Will be returning. My guess is that it is a bootleg copy and I am amazed that Amazon is selling these. If you are expecting a quality copy dont bother with this. We should expect better from Amazon.

Wow. I wasnt expecting high quality (it is a DVD-R after all), but this is awful! If Im paying for a movie, why do I have to see a little S C on the screen. During the opening, the letters S C appear on the lower right of the screen. Even worse, the letters reappear and stay on the screen for a good part of the movie. These letters are not exactly out of the way either--at times they are actually over the actors themselves. The S C stands for Sinister Cinema I guess. Ill be sure not to buy any of their products again. Also, the picture shakes vertically at times and is quite bad overall. I assume most people interested in this movie saw it when they were younger and have fond memories of it. It is the story of Giant Robot and Johnny Sokko, the boy who controls him by speaking into a watch. Even if youre desperate to see this again, look for a better quality version.

Video jump a bit during movie.but a decent copy! From vhs to dvd.
