ELI5: How does Jurrasic Park, a 22 year old movie, have some of the best CG I've ever seen?

Is it that HD has made realistic CG more difficult?

Sorry if this has been asked before.

EDIT:

Thank you everyone who has taken time to answer this! I recommend reading through the comments because there are some really insightful ones.

Turns out practical effects played a much larger role than I initially thought. Also the fact that many of the scenes were shot in dark environments help because it eliminates multiple light sources.
