In Resident Evil movie, was the T-Virus intentionally released?
Can you please solve this confusion?
- In "RE: Apocalypse", the spread of the virus was unintended and Umbrella wanted to cover this crisis so the U.S government sanitized the whole city with a nuclear bomb and made a media cover.
On the other hand:
- In "RE: Final Chapter" the T-Virus was spread by the plan of Dr. Alexander Isaacs the second owner of Umbrella and his board of directors to end the world for a dirty purposes.
Do you have any explanation for that?
Best Answer
There is no mention in the second film that the release of the virus was accidental. The incident in the Hive when Spence broke the vial with the T-virus was intentional; he had multiple reasons to contaminate the facility. Remember that Spence was also a secret operative for the Corporation, and it is likely (although never mentioned) that he was instructed by its authorities to preemptively release the virus, once he discovered that Alice and Lisa planned to infiltrate the Hive and expose its research to the media. It appears that the actions of Umbrella in re-opening the Hive, not taking any security measures, and eliminating civilians are signs of their grander scheme to bring about the armageddon. Aside from these two speculations, the Final Chapter makes it very clear that "he [Dr. Isaacs] released it [the T-virus] deliberately". It's revealed in the scene, when Alice and the team enter the Hive and speak to the Red Queen. Therefore, there should be doubt that the Corp. started the outbreak purposely.

Answer 2
The T-Virus was intentionally released, though you are told in the original movie that it was done to cover the tracks of the guy stealing the T-Virus. The final chapter it's explained that this was done to infect the world. They were planning to release the virus anyway, but someone sabotaging things made that part of the plan come faster, and helped keep blame off of themselves. Ultimately-the end result was the same.
