1 plot hole
Directed by: Paul W.S. Anderson
Starring: Anna Bolt, Colin Salmon, Indra Ové, James Purefoy, Joseph May, Michelle Rodriguez, Milla Jovovich, Oscar Pearce, Ryan McCluskey
Plot hole: Why does Umbrella know that Red Queen killed everyone, but not that the virus is loose? Is there no way to see into or receive data from the Hive other than Red Queen? Does every communication in or out have to be approved through her? And even if she is the sole conduit for information into and out of the Hive, her primary purpose for existing is to keep the T-virus from escaping. Umbrella THINKS that Red Queen has malfunctioned. BUT, she is working perfectly! So supressing info that the T-virus is loose in the Hive would contradict her core programming. So why doesn't Umbrella know?
Grumpy ScotSuggested correction: Umbrella knows the T-virus is loose, they wanted that to happen. They send the team in there to fight their creations, to test their creations. Not to shut the hive down, that was just a ruse. Also, its possible the Hive Queen was never meant to keep the T-virus from escaping, Umbrella was the one to program her and Umbrella wants a whole lot of things to happen except containing the T-virus as we learn from the future movies. The hive Queen was just a controlling unit for the experiment of the hive, to help the experiment succeed.
