One person who isn’t jumping on that bandwagon though is Michael Bay. Deadline Hollywood says Bay remains skeptical of the technology, specifically the ‘up conversion’ process used to transform 2D films into 3D (ala “Alice in Wonderland,” “Clash of the Titans”).
“I shoot complicated stuff, I put real elements into action scenes and honestly, I am not sold right now on the conversion process… Right now, it looks like fake 3D, with layers that are very apparent… People can say whatever they want about my movies, but they are technically precise, and if this isn’t going to be excellent, I don’t want to do it and it is my choice” says Bay.

Bay did apparently do some early tests on the viability of shooting “Transformers 3” with 3D cameras but found them “too heavy and cumbersome” for the way he shoots.
I’m actually proud of Bay for this
