I haven't missed the point at all. I said previously that's like criticizing a classic Ford Mustang from the 60s for not being a Pagani Zonda.
I'm not trying to be a rooster about it, I really do think you're missing the point. This example leads me to believe I'm right. This appears to be some sort of misunderstanding.
Lemme try and explain: We wouldn't be criticizing the '60s Mustang because it did age well. So well, in fact, that current styling uses it as a sort of rough template. This is the opposite of what goldo is saying. Had the Mustang aged poorly, comparing it negatively to a Zonda (which, by the way, I still prefer to the Huayra - though just) would be just fine. Thing is, it didn't. Its image is classic. The SFX in whichever Terminator movie he doesn't like aren't. Cuz they failed to age well.
Basically it's like this: Can you negatively compare a '60s Mustang to a Zonda? No. They're both beautiful today. Can you negatively compare the SFX in T? to those done in some action blockbuster today? Yes. The SFX in T? look silly nowdays.
RE: Terribad CGI:
The worst CGI I've ever seen was in The Day After Tomorrow (and no, I didn't want to see that movie ... d-bag friends ...). There's these wolves and ... wow. That's all I can say. And that's a relatively modern movie.
