if I remember rightly, they had an entire props department doing the creature in the old-school way, with property and special effects, and decided in editing to replace it with CGI. Really sad. Think of how great modern physical effects could be with the advanced we made since the 80s
The worst thing was that they had a seriously bizarre alien animatronic as the pilot at the end, but they replaced it with holographic orange Tetris.
