It really does not look that bad to me, but I barely remember the movies or the TV show, I was too young at the time. So I have no nostalgia, no attachment whatsoever for any previous incarnations, as most young people that will go see this movie I bet. To me the design looks sleek (except for the bare hand ?), modern, something fit to our current vision of the future. The original design would make no sense today, when devices and tech are always getting smaller and more powerful, why on earth would you build something bulky if you could make something more agile and yet really strong ? Just my 2 cents
