Bad news sells. Very few even talked about the content of the footage and worst still, most were recycling the same reaction and ignoring other feedback. He's trying to protect a project he has been working on for more than 2 years.

Stop trying to take this personally.

I'm a film editor. If the footage/presentation is new footage (footage different the presentation to theater owners a couple months back) it is mostly likely easier to present it in a more traditional 2D/24fps format. Considering he just wrapped production it was probably too short a time to get all the assets in shape for a full-on 3D/48 presentation.

Also, the projection system being used at the venue could very likely have something to do with it. While it's probably possible to show 3D there, it may not be possible to show it at 48fps. And Jackson most likely doesn't want the 3D scene at lower frame rates.

In other words, there are a ton of reasons why they're showing footage in 2D/24 that aren't nefarious or political.

He did not "unilaterally indict all the reaction at CinemaCon, some by respected geek journos…"
