I agree with this. I agree with the author of the post that there is something wonderfully authentic about movies with PFX before the rise of CGI, but then again I am noticing a lot of CGI; most of my family can't stop gushing about how unbelievably real most modern movies look ~ they're not seeing the CGI.
They also love the Soap Opera Affect [1] of modern TVs, which I can't stand.
So while I agree with the post's author, I think my agreement is one of a matter of personal preference, not objective evaluation. Side note: As a nice "stay at home" hobby during the pandemic, I've gotten really into film photography; shooting it, developing it at home, learning as much as I can about the history and science of it ~ one consequence is that I view older movies shot on film in a completely different light now (no pun intended).

Edit: Spelling, and to say that "my family" is both older and younger, so I don't think it's a generational thing, per se.
