Friday’s long-awaited release of the second STAR TREK BEYOND trailer hit the web at warp speed, and while we spent the weekend tearing into its hidden secrets – it’s time to take a step back from the story and see what’s changed since December!

While these shots have all shown significant progress since our first look in December, it’s a sure bet that the visual effects teams will be working to improve them even more up until the last moment before STAR TREK BEYOND hits theaters.
