Most well done conversions take time (AT LEAST 12 months), and when done well are just fine. The biggest 3D movies have been conversions.
Although Avatar was largely native, it also contained conversion material.
But all of Gravity, Mad Max, jurassic World, furious 7, Everest, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, Guardians of The Galaxy, etc. are all conversions.
Conversions get a bad rap from the bad ones. The good ones are just fine.
And there have been plenty of crappy native 3D films too.
Jurassic World sure was a conversion and it showed with warping/halos everywhere, gravity was nearly enitrely cgi and that was all native, passing it off as simply a conversion is very dishonest, and Furious 7 was a cheap chinese conversion.

Conversions aren't inherently bad, the main problem is that it makes it very easy for the film makers to simply make a 2d film with 3d slapped on in post by other people. Conversions still aren't close to matching native at its best.

I never realised Jurassic World was a conversion. I thought the 3D was brilliant. The worst 3D film I have ever seen is Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs; it was pretty much non-existent.

I don't want top ruin it for you, but there where conversion errors everywhere, if you didn't notice them don't look. As if you do you will go straight back to 2d.
