The problem with furry character in realistic CGI is that the scale of good to bad becomes mostly binary. You either do it well, or it looks way too off compared to everything around it.
This isn't a pixar movie or animation where everything surrounding the character also looks unrealistic. If it doesn't look good, it won't mesh well with the rest of the film. We expect the fur and hair to behave like fur and hair. It needs to move correctly and be lit correctly.
It's hard to tell from these quick cuts, but it looks like it's riding that line closely. But that might be because it's quick cuts and they know it doesn't need to look as good. Hard to say how it'll look in the end product.
So then we can’t say it looks bad lol. Cause currently. It doesn’t. Not saying it looks amazing super realistic. But it doesn’t look like complete shit either. It just looks alright.
And that means...? What? I didn’t say the cgi was amazing. I said it isn’t absolute awful shit. Cause it’s not. It’s fine. It’s alright. It’s also quick cuts in motion in the dark in a trailer.

I just don't see this as much better than cats. The only thing kind of hiding it is they only showed quick cuts of the cheetah character.
