Simon Pegg looks more like Christopher Eccleston than James Doohan in that clip. As for the Enterprise, I didn't think it looked bad the first time I saw it (the only starship that I really thought was ugly on first sight was the Galaxy class Enterprise-D), but I agree that they shouldn't have deviated so much from the original. Clean up the original with current technology (the new model used in DS9's "Trials and Tribble-ations", or the CGI in the remastered TOS episodes) and it still looks damned good… or go with the refit model used in the TOS movies if you really want that kind of look.
