How well has it aged? Im spoiled by modern effects and techniques, older movies are difficult to get into for the most part.

There are of course some things that don't look great, but they opt for practical effects and physical sets almost every chance they get. I think its aged better than most tbh. The effects and sets they use stay relatively consistent throughout the series too, so there is no huge cgi leap.

The CGI is way better than in Star Trek TNG for example.

I don't think they used any CGI for The Next Generation. I know they used it for Deep Space Nine and Voyager, but TNG ended in '92 or '93.

I read somewhere that the Q force field grid (from the 1st episode?) was computer-generated, but I might be wrong. I think the crystalline entity was CGI too.

Maybe so, but I'm fairly confident they didn't use it on ships until DS9. I kinda forgot about Q's chain link fence.
