When I watch a film, I don't want the film to make me aware I am watching a film. Good filmmakers can encourage my belief sometimes even as I am analyzing the film's construction and intentionally maintaining my disbelief. I can appreciate quality special effects, but no matter how technically, film-theoretically, or visually good those effects may be, if they don't serve the greater film they are a part of, they aren't good special effects.
Modern UI feels like painting the shark in Jaws hot pink in order to make sure everyone sees the great special effects. Yeah, the shark is still cool, but you've made the film much more difficult to enjoy.
