Default Does 4K Ultra HD spoil the illusion?

As I read certain site reviews for 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays, namely Mad Max: Fury Road and San Andreas, I get the impression that the increased resolution of the format exposes the limitations of the visual effects in certain films.

For those of you who are currently enjoying the format, do you find this to be true? Do digital effects look more blatantly digital? Does the increased resolution make sound stage setups and lighting more obvious?

For me, even standard Blu-rays occasionally reveal too many of the puppet strings behind the curtain, and not just with digital effects. During the campfire scene in Stand By Me, for example, I'm more cognizant of the lighting setup for the filming of the scene than I have ever been while watching the movie many many times on VHS or DVD. I'm curious as to whether or not the curtain will be pulled back to a greater extent with the new format.
