Flickering Myth has posted a very lengthy and informative article titled "Operation Deception: The Making Of GI Joe Retaliation". This title gives us a very, very detailed look at what went on behind the scenes of GI Joe Retaliation, from concepts, filming, pre-visualization, special FX, and lot more.

Here's an interesting passage which explains the reasoning for the delay for 3D conversion:

“They [Paramount] were looking at a lot of other films coming through and people enjoying them in 3D,” explains James Madigan. “We were looking at the film and this thing is screaming for it. It was one of those things where it needed it but there was no way it could fit into the schedule. The only solution was to move the June 29th release date and it is one of those movies you want to have it.” Madigan adds, “To be honest it was always coming up and we talked about it in the beginning and then it came up again. Jon had done Step Up 3D [2010]. Any kind of new technology Jon is a real master of. It was something he had in mind. I’m not saying that he set up all of his shots with an eye towards conversion but he thinks that way. When we were reviewing and creating things he was like, ‘This would be great in 3D.’ Sort of lamenting it because we weren’t doing it. No one wants to push the release date but when the producers offered to put the money on the table to do it, it was like, ‘Great!’ It was more Paramount seeing what they had and saying, ‘This is worth it.’” Madigan was pleased with the decision. “It looks great in 3D. It does feel like a movie that was always intended for it.”
