One thing I noticed firsthand is that they said Christopher Columbus had buried the Apple with him.

FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE

Connor had dropped the Apple into the bottom of the ocean with a weight during the DLC (DLC was canon) hoping it wouldn't be found until Desmond found it. This means that the entire plot is off by a wide margin because Abstergo had already taken hold of the Apple during 2012 after Desmond's death.

Secondly I saw that they said the Apple was the genetic code for free will

no

The Apple was stated to be able to control the mind and create lifelike illusions, we saw this in action during the AC3 DLC as it created an alternate reality. It was created to control the minds of humans with perfection.

However the thing is, the movie was acting like the Assassins would be affected by this despite their MANY TIMES STATED RESISTANCE TO ITS MIND MANIPULATION

Either this isn't canon, Hollywood can't do make a good VG Movie, or the Apple somehow just made an alternate reality
