** Wesker doesn't use his powers after [[spoiler:being crushed by the bulkhead by the Red Queen]] because his enhancements are unstable and trying to use them after losing so much genetic material (blood) would kill him. In fact, crushing him to immobilize him until he bleeds out is pretty much the ''only'' way to kill him, as he's shown to be able to regenerate lost body parts up to and including having his head blown off. He says he's distributed his brain throughout his entire body so he doesn't have a weak point. When Wesker asks for help, Alicia brushes him off and reveals that Wesker will devour anyone at the first opportunity to break free (and, judging by Wesker's reaction at hearing such words, it's more or less true). However, the novel includes an epilogue where it is hinted that [[spoiler:Wesker is still alive after all.]]

* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: [[spoiler:When Alice tosses Doc a mag for his submachinegun, it turns out later that she correctly deduced he was a traitor and as such gave him an empty clip. Except that, in order to properly load the mag, one needs to cock the gun shortly afterwards, which is impossible without any ammo in the gun itself, meaning that Doc would have immediately suspected that Alice set him up.]]



* BadBoss: [[spoiler:The clone Isaacs]] kills one of his tank's crew for disobeying his orders -- so far, so good. He later also slaughters the rest of them for reasons.

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: [[spoiler:Wesker fails to use his super speed/reflexes to dodge a trap that shouldn't have been able to catch him, fails to use his super strength to stop said trap from crushing him, [[RuleOfThree and]] fails to use his healing factor to stop said trap from killing him.]]

** [[spoiler:The real Isaacs is caught off-guard and murdered by his demented clone, even though he could have easily seen him coming for a kill and fought him off thanks to his bio implants.

* NoNameGiven: Two Umbrella's prisoners who join Alice's group later on are not given any names, instead being called "The Thin Man" and "Scars" by the script. The novelization does reveal their real names, along with the past life of the Thin Man and what happened to him before and after he was caught by Isaacs.

Whlie in the film he slaughters the rest of them when they disagree on his plans, he doesn't get to do that in the novelization, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere where they simply desert him]] and take their chances on the ravaged city's streets.
** Finally, the film leaves open the fate of Becky, last seen gathering with Alice and co in ''Retribution''. The novelization instead states that Alice went back to Washington in order to retrieve her

* CrapsackWorld: Even moreso that in the previous films. There are less than 4,500 humans still alive on the planet ''as whole''. Umbrella plans on wiping out all remaining settlements across the planet by sending armored vehicles to take down their defenses and their trailing armies of zombies to finish them off, and the clock is ticking. [[spoiler:Said clock turns out to be a bluff however]].



** ''The Final Chapter'' makes [[spoiler:the original]] Dr. Isaacs out to be one for [[spoiler:Oswell E. Spencer, being the founder of Umbrella and a megalomaniac with a god complex who wants to remake the world in his image]]. Isaacs also incorporates elements of Wesker's motivations from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'', being a StrawNihilist who comes up with an elaborate plan to destroy mankind before man's wars and pollution end up doing it anyway, in order to build a better world for his chosen few to populate.
