I think it really just comes down to the skill of the film makers, as it always has. I think a really good example of this is this comparison between the old and new Dune movies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHPkdMGI6D4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHPkdMGI6D4 The new Dune is masterfully crafted, and I was never once bothered by the CG, even though there was clearly a ton of it. The old Dune, on the other hand...I don't think it's aged particularly gracefully. Then again, I've never been a huge Lynch fan.
