Yes, the CGI is stunning - for most of the trailer, it's hard to believe it's not live action. They have made a huge leap across the uncanny valley, and successfully.

As for the uncanny valley, that applies to Humans, not aliens.

RayCASTING not rayTACING. Big difference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_casting
Not to be confused with the much abused Tolkien Ring of Evil.
