ELI5: How is Jurassic Park's CGI able to hold up and even beat movies that are released in this century, even though their budget was $63 mil?

JP used a combination of CGI and "practical" effects, meaning real effects. A LOT of what you see is puppets.  Most of its CGI is just the combination of the two shots or enhancements to them.

Modern CGI doesn't quite have the same effect.  One of the major problems is lighting.  Animators never seem to get it quite right and so you can more easily tell it's CGI.  With a practical effect, they can better match lighting, etc.
