Transformers: Dark of the Moon, was a crazy mix of real 3D cameras, post-3D, and iMax. Result: Good movie, but so-so 3D.

Gravity was also post-3D, but the effect was great. Space felt deep, and the things that fly at you seemed very real. It was the best use of fake 3D I had seen so far.

Star Trek into Darkness was another post-3D thing. Movie was ok, 3D was non existent.
I think doing it post in Gravity was a good idea, because most of the elements in each shot were composited from a combo of live action and cg. They had total control for separation because every shot was a stew of different ingredients. In most live action shoots, it much more difficult to separate things later.
