Maybe it's just me and my eyes are just shit (probably) but I saw the trailer in a theater recently and I feel like the visual effects haven't really advanced since the first one. Maybe that's intentional to keep a familiar visual identity across the franchise, maybe it's just a case of familiarity breeding contempt, but the first was supposed to be kind of a technical marvel, however now it fails to leave any impression or stand out and do anything new or special, in terms of visuals.

I think that's more of a reflection of the non-linear technological leaps rather than effort/creativity on the part of the filmmakers. No modern CGI films really wow me in the same way the big features from the 2000s did.
