Great movie, but issues with the treatment of women

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2011)

Overall, I loved the movie. A few things didn't make sense, such as how nuclear technology was making some people become mutants, and for that matter, in unique and always advantageous ways. But that's small.
What really bugged me was how *every* female in the movie was hot. It's like you could not be cast unless you had a pretty face and certain dimensions. Was this true for the men too? Not at all. Even accounting for the fact that the majority of secondary characters would need to be men because of the time period, the majority of the male characters were in the average category. Women clearly couldn't play the same role as men, they had to be eye candy as well.
In this vein, the sexualization was in every scene. For example, women always had their suits unzipped way down to show cleavage, even when they wore the same outfits as men. It was kind of ridiculous.
Granted most Hollywood movies are like this, and maybe I am just stating the obvious, but this issue seemed particularly egregious in this movie and was hard for me to get past.
Anyway, besides that, it is really fun and engrossing and not to be missed.
