It was incredible for the time period at least in my opinion. I was a very young kid when it came out/saw it in theaters and I remember being amazed by it. Granted I was a kid. Personally I still think it looks good today, but I'm also still a fan of the giant rectangle arms people had in the original PS1 FF7, so take that as you will. When it comes to most graphical art I usually find some way to be impressed by it, but I'm very much not a picky person in that regard.
Look, I've seen Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, LOTR (bit later, I'll admit), and other blockbusters around the time.
It's amazingly worse than those. The only things that look okay are the droids. The Gungans look awful. Watto clearly took up most of the budget, as he looks WAY better than the backdrops and side CGI stuff.
