J.J Abrams has revealed that he wasn't into the idea of doing the film in 3D. In fact, he had it forced upon him by Paramount.

The studio said, “You have to make it in 3D if you’re going to make it, for economic reasons.” But my feeling was I didn’t like 3D. So the idea of doing ‘Star Trek’ in 3D was ridiculous.”

He then explains how he came around to embrace 3D

"I approached it very cynically. And the fact is that we’ve been using techniques that haven’t been used before in 3D. They’ve figured out things. They’ve made enough movies now with this new process that they can understand ways to eliminate some of these problems. Things like breaking shots into zones, 3D zones, using multiple virtual cameras. A lot of this has made me a believer, whereas before I was really against it… There’s this myth that if you don’t shoot the movie in 3D it doesn’t look good. Actually, the opposite can be true.”

Star Trek: Into Darkness will be in theaters May,17th.
