Resident Evil: Extinction

Plot hole: When the survivors break into the Umbrella compound, Alice helps load survivors onto the helicopter. The helicopter portrayed has a max occupancy of 6, and somehow Alice manages to squeeze 20+ survivors onto the helicopter, with no problems whatsoever. (01:11:05)

Resident Evil: Extinction mistake picture

Plot hole: When the survivors arrive in Las Vegas, all that is visible is the Strip. No other buildings are seen, even though Las Vegas has other high-rise buildings that are not on the Strip, and the level of sand that has built up is not substantial enough to have buried the entire city. (00:55:00)

Razvaluha

Plot hole: In the scene where Alice breaks into the Umbrella compound she drives the vehicle through the truck wreckage and into the fence, knocking the fence down. However, she then has time to ferry everyone from the vehicle into the chopper, stand back and watch them fly away, then walk cautiously into the shanty shack and wait for the elevator to arrive. Meanwhile not a single zombie has chased her into the now breached compound. The zombies might be dumb, but if they see food they head straight to it until an obstacle stops them and the explosion would have only killed the ones in the immediate area. The ones behind the dead zombies would have charged at them as soon as the fire died down. (01:11:00)

Revealing mistake: As Carlos is giving his final goodbyes to Claire you can see in the background automobiles driving down the freeway. Shouldn't these roads be empty rather than having what seems to be a thriving highway? (01:10:00)

Question: What was the point of the scientist releasing the clone Alices and then putting them through the test to have them killed? Did they explain this and I missed it or what?

SAZOO1975

Chosen answer: The reason that the cloned alices were put through the tests was their attempt to get a "perfect" clone of her. They knew that Alice was the key to taking back the zombie infestation, so they were trying to get the "perfect" clone. The perfect clone would have all of her memories and reactions, so they put the clones through that testing facility. If she made it out alive, then she was the perfect clone. If she didn't, then it was back to the drawing board.
