Especially, the movie John Carter impressed me with this phrase.

Best Answer
In common usage, the phrase off you go has a patronising or dismissive connotation.
It is something you say to dismiss a child - Off you go to school now or Off you go and tidy your room.
It is not used in addressing a superior, a customer or in similar situations where you would not wish to be thought of as even slightly rude.
