I mean, have you seen early CGI? A raspberry pi running blender can produce sharper CGI than any computer from the 50s. Sure it was impressive at the time but nothing even remotely passable today
One thing to point out about that was the image quality itself. You could have a person “fly” by hanging by ropes but with the poor image quality at the time you couldn’t see the ropes. On a 8k modern screen it would be incredibly obvious.
Also worth noting that while home playback was possible it wasn’t really ubiquitous until the 70s and 80s, so most people only saw the film once or maybe twice before they’d have to wait for it to come to theaters again.
