For the record I'm annoyed as well, but not "f*ck you" annoyed. So much for seeing this at the theatre I've seen them all in... they'll definitely be doing 3D.

Conversions don't make as much money. People seem to know the difference between native 3D and postproduction 3D.
I really hope the Village Theatre in Westwood has 2D showings, too.

I used to say the same thing until I saw Gravity in Imax 3D. Was shocked when I found out the 3D was done in post. That being said, I will probably see this in 2d if possible.

But so much of that is CGI, that much of it could just be rendering the CG from two different cameras like real 3D. This would have given them more time to convert the 2D live action footage.

That said, odds are that the space scenes will be with CG, so they can probably do native 3D on those shots, unless they don't have enough rendering time.
