i think the reason a lot of people find practical fx charming, even when they're obviously fake, while finding aged cgi just bad
is that it's a lot easier to have an idea of how much work went into the practical fx even if you don't have experience with it. while for cgi it's just "??? press a button... alien come out?"
so instead of seeing the effort and work that went into making older cgi, you just see that it looks wrong, and thats that
