Well, if Anderson went along with the games/books at all, the outbreak of the virus into Racoon and the overtaking of the city was not Mabius's fault at all. In the games/books, Umbrella tries to steal the G-Virus from William birkin, who is working in one of their many underground labs. Birkin is injured in the scuffle, and to save himself, he injects the virus into his body. He then chases the Umbrella soldiers into the sewers and kicks their asses. As he does the, the virus is released into the sewer system, the mice carry it, and it gets into the city a bunch of different ways including (I think) by way of the water supply. The movie mentions that the virus can be transferred by liquid, air and bite/scratch, depending on it's environment. The result is Resident Evil 2 and 3. I'm pretty sure that the movie fit into the timeline RIGHT before Resident Evil 3 (3 actually starts 24 hrs before 2.)
It is concieveable that "Alice" was in the hospital for a long while. Remember in the beginning of the film, it said "24 hours before the incident at Racoon City." that means that the outbreak happened....then a few hours later (lets say 3 for the sake of argument) the team came in...then 3 hours after that they were out again. That gives her at least 18 hours in the hospital room before the incident even began. Its very possible she was in there for a few days at least- she was pretty drugged, her legs didn't even work at first- tons of needles in her... One of the things noted in the stories and games is that it did not take long for the city to fall- ESPECIALLY if most of the city's population were zombies. There were only a few safe places left a few days after the outbreak, and soon those fell as well. I realize I'm really analyzing this movie alot, but thats probably cuz i really like the whole Resident Evil storyline, and I don't think the movie had TOO many plot holes- granted, some of the split-ups of the group were unexplained, but not inexplicable. It's not like it is an impossible occurance that they were split up.
When Alice is outside at the end, in the middle of the overtaken city- it looks exactly like the beginning of RE3 where the cops are being attacked by the mob of zombies at night. I think that "Alice" arrives just after this (probably the next morning). Makes sense...to me, anyway.
I just thought it was cool to see Racoon City taken over like that and to have "Alice" stuck in the middle of it.
