I haven't seen the movie but I want to. I've seen quite a lot of reports that it is sexist.
The lead (Claire?) is portrayed as quite a cold stiff career woman who has no maternal instincts.
She saves her nephews life by shooting a dinosaur yet they only want to stay with her because they feel safe with her boyfriend.
She wears her heels throughout the movie.
Also the most gruesome death was that of a female - yet she didn't actually do anything to deserve that death.
If you look back at Jurassic Park with Ellie she was volunteered to turn the power on when John Hammond says it really should be him because hes a man, she just rolls her eyes.
And that was 20 years ago! Seems like this film is a step back.
