The one truly rough and ugly moment in the trailer shows off some blatantly unfinished CGI from the movie's finale, as Daniels flings around outside the escape ship while trying to shoot the Xenomorph.

The compositing on Katherine Waterston is just terrible and makes it blatantly clear she's just swinging around in front of a green screen, while the Xenomorph animation also looks a little janky, even video game-esque.
