I beg you to go watch Titanic on a newer TV.. you will be gobsmacked at what we were impressed by. It looks like Thomas the tank engine graphics..

Any particular part stand out as especially bad?

Yep. Right in the beginning. After they have just boarded I believe. Camera does a flyover shot from above.

I feel like the huge jump is around 2010, that’s when movies started to get that crisp perfect frame we have now.

On this note, there are a lot of TV shows from the late 90’s - mid 00’s that don’t exist in HD. Early shows were shot on film, and could be converted to HD, and later shows were shot digitally in HD, but during that period a lot of shows were recorded on SD digital cameras, and we’ve got the best version we’ll ever get.

Drowning Mona was on TV last night and it looked ancient I think that was 2000.

There is a period around the year 2000 where you can usually distinguish which one of two movies is older based on the CGI and picture quality alone even if they were made only around 3 years apart.
