...and no explanation of why. Son of a bee-otch. Hopefully it's to further render the (no doubt) extensive CG visuals.
If it is CGI reasons, they probably would have said: "SFX is taking longer than we imagined; we want to deliver a fantastic visual experience to the audience"; that is something not terrible and rather encouraging to the awaiting fans.
So it's likely that it scored poorly with initial screenings and they're editing the crap out of it in hopes of getting a film that will at least break the budget and not Jon Carter all over the place. Which is something studios are reluctant to release.

I still remain cautiously optimistic but don't really believe this has a chance of being a mega hit to general audiences. I just hope I enjoy it when it does come out.

I agree. I don't expect it to be a huge success. But there's no way it won't be a druggy space trip. That's where I'm placing my optimism.
Found a review which was posted up on IMDB from another site

Interesting review. Thanks for posting. It sounds like pretty typical Wachowskis material, so I'm sure I'll thoroughly enjoy it.

The general consensus seems to be that this movie is a lazily-unoriginal and bland Star Wars clone with ideas ripped off from the Matrix amongst many other sources, a confusingly complex plot, and OTT hammy acting and dialogue. IOW, this movie sucks ass.
They did The Matrix movies, so that wouldn't be "ripping off," it would be rehashing. I didn't really expect great reviews because the Wachowskis are largely misunderstood. I loved the Matrix sequels when many people didn't, so I suspect it'll still be good. And this is in space, so it should rock! .
