I put plastic on my windows every year because I live in a very cold climate. It does save energy, keeps any condensation off the windows, and stops any drafts from making the house feel colder. I too HATE the plastic look! I use sheers on my curtain rods with heavier drapes/curtains on each side for the winter. I have round rods and use grommet top curtains so I can close the heavier drapes in the evening. It still lets in light but I don't have to look at the plastic!
Try a different method....line the inside of your windows with heavy duty blackout drapes to muffle sound AND cold/wind.
