This isn't a name per se, but I think the effect you're describing is a result of having a really good, original idea without the supporting artistry to create something that is enduringly great. To use your example, consider The Matrix. As a film, it is cheesy. But the quality of the original idea more than made up for the cheesiness at the time of its release. Now that the idea has aged and its originality has worn off, the bad qualities of the movie are more evident. I still love The Matrix, but I understand why people don't. In order to be great for long periods of time, you need the beautiful, original idea, but you also need the master craftsmanship that creates a work that can stand on its own.

There's a lot of scenes that seem less cool when you probably saw the Simpsons or Community parody of them before you ever saw The Matrix. That's stuff that was visionary craft at the time, but is now just so much a part of the fabric of the culture that it doesn't elicit the same impression.
