Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D: Bonds Beyond Time review

The Japanese animation phenomenon comes back to the big screen, this time in 3D...

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

Seven years after Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie, the inexplicably lucrative Japanese card game returns to cinemas – in 3D, of course.

Duelling geeks will dig it: three spiky-haired, saucer-eyed heroes from the various anime TV series team up for a combo strike against time traveller Paradox, who’s trying to wipe out the Duel Monsters game forever.

But the migraine-inducing visuals and game-heavy dialogue –“I can use this trap card to summon Stardust Dragon, and now he’s going to attack with cosmic flare” – will leave most non-fans clawing their eyes out.
