Peter Berg was never put under pressure to makes Battleship a 3D movie the director has revealed.
Battleship will hit the big screen this week and Berg admits that he wasn't keen on shooting the movie in 3D as he struggles to watch 3D movies.
The movie is loosely based on the Hasbro game and sees the U.S. naval battling an alien invasion.
Speaking at the UK press launch for the movie the director said: "No not really. I think I am one of the 20% who get migraine headaches from 3D - I don’t like 3D.
"I go to watch films in 3D and yes I do appreciate really wild moments where something comes flying at you but I enjoyed Avatar as much in 2D as I did in 3D.
"I really get headaches and I end up taking the glasses off and rubbing my head and half way through the movie wishing that it wasn’t in 3D. So I never asked plus it costs so much money that they are not dying for you to do it.
"If ever there was a movie that would be f***ing bad ass in 3D it would be Battleship with the shredders coming at you and the 16" guns on the Missouri that would have been pretty cool - maybe for the next one."
Battleship is the first movie outing for Berg since Hancock back in 2007 having concentrated on TV with projects such as Friday Night Lights and 30 for 30.
But he will begin shooting on his new movie Lone Survivor later this year, which is based on the book by a Navy SEAL.
Battleship is out now.
