I don't have anything to add to the argument just that I happened to watch Escape from New York this weekend and there's an epic "green laser grid" sequence as he flies in to the city!
Edit: and apparently they did it with practical effects rather than actually animating with a computer? Seems like they were aiming for that exact aesthetic.
(Apparently more or less the first example of genuinely computer-generated or -manipulated graphics in a "real" live-action film or TV production was the Gunslinger's "Terminator-vision" from (the original, 1973) Westworld.)
