Orange and teal?

Is this film shot entirely in Orange and Teal?
It seems that way from the trailer. I find it an extremely unappealing and lazy aesthetic choice when done to such excess... It's cheap, the kind of thing you'd expect from a low budget genre film... Is the effect as strong in the film as in the the trailer?
For those of you unfamiliar with the epidemic of excessive orange and teal colour grading... here's an excellent blog post on the matter, otherwise just google orange and teal... http://theabyssgazes.blogspot.com/2010/03/teal-and-orange-hollywood-please-stop.html
Full disclosure: I have not seen the film yet, only the trailer... hence the question... I'll probably check out the movie at some point, but I usually find comic book movies quite poor...

Every film is shot in orange and teal these days.

Yeah... it's so ugly how overdone it is...
When you watch a movie from before when digital colouring became so extreme you really notice how much art and beauty is lost... movies shot in the past used the scheme much more subtly than they seem to nowadays, if they ever used it at all...
So is the colour scheme in the movie as extreme as the trailer for Wonder Woman? Seems to be bathed in it...

Shot in urine-vision! Very expensive to shoot like that.
