Yeah, the helmets for the other two Empires has the Terrans beat hand-down. Now, there IS one suit of Terran armor aside from the MAX with an enclosed helmet, but the lighter armor has that open face with the little goggle things and, really, it's nothing when compared to the visored helm of the NC (as you said). If I were making the armor, I'd have given the lighter Terran armor a little thing that covers their mouth and nose -- like a rebreather looking device. Something to make them look a little more sinister and, hell, protected too.
By the way, I thought the Judge Dredd movie was good
