It would have really left the movie lingering in your mind, instead of it just being another Disney ending.

I agree for the most part. Perhaps the aliens work on a different technology timescale to us? (interstellar species will almost have to do this, since planets are so removed in time and space) Or perhaps, even if they have better technology, they considered humans so puny that it might be 'fun' to get back into the old Tripods and whip us up that way, similar to how you or I might pick up a trowel to kill slugs, even though we've got bugspray. However yeah the whole underground thing was the dumbest part of the script. I prefer to think they beamed them down in the lightning. Good review! I agree for the most part.
