Special effects were kinda crappy till 1996 or so. Just randomly caught a bit of original Independence Day and big blow ups scenes in the first part are kinda bad. I think Jurassic Park was the turning point. Before that you had to get artsy to cover up FX limitations.

I always thought Terminator 2 was the turning point, which pre-dates both movies, not sure how’s it aged though - it could be that the 90s were a transitionary decade for vfx and didn’t get consistently good until the late 90s/Matrix timeframe
