Well done is an understatement.

Many of those late 70s/80s movies with real effects blow away the CGI crap fests today.

Those movies also had the good sense to hide effects.

There's a great article about how Jurassic Park's CGI is so well regarded because they worked to hide it. Modern CGI is so front and center, you see all the flaws.

Alien is a great example of using darkness to camouflage your effects. The first looks as good or better than Covenant's broad day CGI.

This. The scene in "The Thing" (1982) when Vance's head falls to the floor, spider legs and eyes sprout from it and it walks away still makes me every time...
