re: New Star Trek
I had a few problems with the production design, particularly with the starship engineering areas. It's like they had a dozen people arguing over what the "look" of the movie was supposed to be. Chrome-plated controls, "Next Generation" style gadgets, Victorian "rivet" construction, hardware-store valves with the lumpy handles, "Willy-Wonka" factory plumbing...you name it, you could find it.
Uhura looked like her workstation was in a beer factory.
