It deserves it, the practical effects are fantastic.
They actually even went back and fixed the Ian Holm scenes that had some dodgy CGI:

That really needed fixing, it looked 2d at times depending on the angle.
Honestly that was my biggest gripe with the movie, it was utterly stunning from a visual perspective otherwise. Even compared to movies with far, far larger budgets, Romulus cost 80 million USD -- aka a fraction of most cinematic releases and even higher profile tv shows.
I totally get the complaints people have for the story and pacing etc, but from a visual standpoint on a proverbial shoestring budget compared to other cinematic releases? It absolutely deserves praise for the visual effects, frankly I cannot think of a movie that comes close during that year and many that eked an inch toward it cost double to triple.
It's noticeable imo.
Appreciated too, I think that's half the reason I'm behind this movie. It is flawed, but you can tell the guy behind it really loved the source material. It's a passion project, and that pays off for me despite the iffy parts you see and overboard fanservice.
