Movie Review: Voyage Into Space - The Amazing Japanese Classic

By Jessica J. Janeson

If you are a fan of Japanese monster movies, then you'll love "Voyage Into Space." This movie has everything you need from your thrilling adventure films, and then some. It not only has a robot fighting to protect the earth from a horrible alien monster, but also has a great story of friendship and sacrifice. You can't go wrong with this movie.

Our story commences with a underground government society creating a huge robot that will defend the earth against any and all strange invaders. The android is constructed to be controlled by a innocent looking timepiece that doubles as an advanced transmission device. The only qualification is that the initial person who communicates to the huge robot through the timepiece communique machine will be the one who it will everlastingly be subservient too.

And the creature who speaks first to the giant automaton is of course a young, simple boy. He is only playing when he first picks up the timepiece, involuntarily of course, and speaks to the robot. But picture his wonder when the android obeys his every demand, and submissively protects the boy from all manner of impairment that comes his way during this epic piece of film making.

At first, it would appear that the boy has found a devoted friend, skilled of shooting missiles from his fingertips, and picking the boy up and taking him on instant trips around the globe. But this, of course, can't last very long as the earth is quickly invaded by unspeakable malformed aliens from the far reaches of space. This is when the actual test of their friendship is determined. Will the boy and his newfound automaton acquaintance risk all to protect the earth? Will they even be victorious?

At first it looks like as if the robot will be triumphant and defend the planet from the invading monsters, but all is not well. The invading monster is made from a extremely explosive substance, and if he is shot, the entire planet will be destroyed. So shooting the alien dead is not an option for our influential robot champion. He must respond to the international hazard with radical measures indeed.

And in a gloomy fable of self sacrifice, the android grabs the monster, and carries him deep into the pits of space, where he will pose no risk to the innocent people of the earth. This, of course, leaves the lad without his companion, but he learns a priceless lesson. Sometimes you must go to extreme sacrifices to save your acquaintances, even to the point of sacrificing your own life. If you would like to watch a thrilling film with a extreme moral message, look no further than "Voyage Into Space. - 40732
