It matters.To a certain extent, it looks cheesy, no matter how good it is.
Though we are so desensitized to it by now, it becomes an important film element, like any other element in the presentation.
I saw those effects used in "Pearl Harbor" and they look ridiculous. Like the use of 3D, it looks so dumb. The detail reduces the "scope" of the film.
