I did see the movie in 2D (the parallax effect in 3D movies distract and give me headache).
My experience was that for the first half hour, I felt that some scenes were there just to please the 3D movie. A tree that goes into the screen, a big rock on top of the characters to give perspective, a bird that goes to the depth of view...
Also, the first part (will avoid spoilers), all the CGI was noticeable, and also felt the gamma filters were way too high (fake HDR ?).
For the rest of the movie I did not feel it, so I either forgot about it and decided to enjoy the movie, or maybe they did stop using the tricks.
Interestingly I thought roughly the same while watching the 3D HFR version - the first half of the movie felt awkwardly paced and didn't engage me much, the second half was much more enjoyable.
