To me, modern says more about the techniques and methods used. In that respect, not much has changed even though 25 years has passed. Even stylistically it is more similar to a current film than one filmed 25 years before its release, i.e. mid 1970s.
As someone else said, contemporary is a better word for describing its age than modern.

Tbh you could argue the techniques created for the lotr films set the standard for the current era of filmmaking
Props and makeup instead of full cgi?
Actually funnily enough the CGI is one of the biggest areas they innovated in, in addition to the great practical effects
Look up Peter Jackson’s Weta workshop & digital, a lot of the stuff that’s commonplace in cinema today has its origins there for the LotR films
