ELI5: why do the effects in older movies (some not even 10 years old yet) seem so cheesy now yet back when the movie was released it seem so real!

When we haven't experienced something that much, we pay less attention to the details.

If we ate bacon for the first time, we'd get blown away by the taste no matter how it was cooked or where it's from - it's unique, delicious and memorable. After eating it every day for a month, we might develop a preference for how it's cooked (less crispy etc). After eating it for a year, we might start to prefer specific cuts of bacon or bacon from specific farms etc.

Movie effects that are 'groundbreaking' at the time won't hold up later because we'll have seen it over and over again in other movies since and we will notice the flaws that couldn't be noticed before.

Also, if you watched that effect originally as a kid, you've experienced a lot more life in general and you're more likely to scrutitise what you see in any context.
