Jurassic World Dominion Finally Gives Claire Dearing Her Due

thegamer.com:

When you think of classic Jurassic Park/World characters, Claire Dearing would be way down most peoples' lists. It's true, she's no Alan Grant - Dominion's biggest lesson is that nobody in the modern era ever gets close to the magic of a character like Grant - but I've always thought that she has gotten a rough ride of things. The cold-hearted executive often dismissively nicknamed Claire Moneylady by fans has the most growth of anyone in the entire series, and while Dominion's plot falls apart if you think about it for even a minute, it finally gives Claire her well deserved moments to shine.

Dominion is all about Maisie Lockwood, the clone girl from Fallen Kingdom, which is such a disastrous waste of the dinos in the real world premise that it still annoys me to just type it out. However, at least in doing so, it brings out more of the tenderness in Claire that has been growing ever since her icy Moneylady origins, and gives Bryce Dallas Howard a greater platform to shine as an actor. Given Howard's ability to capture the humanity at the heart of action in The Mandalorian, I'm still slightly regretful we don't live in the world where Universal trusted her to direct the World finale, but at least BDH fans will leave theatres satiated... if still a little confused that the finale to one of the most iconic movie series in history revolved around the clone girl Maisie Lockwood.

Claire is the most human character in this story, with very grounded motivations that allow her to play off emotions and people rather than just acting against dinosaurs. That said, the movie also gives her a handful of action sequences to let her shine to her fullest.
