The aesthetic choices for those "not CGI" scenes rarely get the praise they deserve. That high contrast b/w film stock that looks like straight out of something Fritz Lang if you ignore the neon overlays, brilliant. That's why it's aging so well, it simply does not look as "1982" as it could have, it looks like the entire history and future of movies at once.
Perhaps the most important role of the CGI is that of a distraction, because aesthetic choices like that tend to work best when you are not aware of them.
