It's a good point, but anything by Joss Whedon is pretty likely to pass. The (frankly amazing) Firefly series and subsequent Serenity film passes on all counts - including the bit about the moster.
Maybe sci-fi geekiness is more feminist-friendly than it's given credit for... Or maybe it's just the people directing/casting sci-fi movies have a weakness for kick-ass women with big guns.
