Answer 1

It was the disease and the germs that attack the aliens. Because from the outer space, there is no germs in the atmosphere. Therefore these aliens have no immunity systems in their body to fight the germs like we do. So slowly they suffered from all sorts of sickness in the air that they inhaling. The gigantic machines they using have fall down one by one. And then at the end one of the alien came out from the machine and try to inhale the air. But few seconds later (the camera closeup on the alien's face) it dries up instantly.

And the movie ends with the narration.

"From the moment the invaders arrived, breathed our air, ate and drank, they were doomed. They were undone, destroyed, after all of man's weapons and devices had failed, by the tiniest creatures that God in his wisdom put upon this earth. By the toll of a billion deaths, man had earned his immunity, his right to survive among this planet's infinite organisms. And that right is ours against all challenges. For neither do men live nor die in vain. "

Answer 2

This is the second Hollywood version of the book. Both films are inaccurate (the first one was wildly out in it's portrayal of the Martians).
PLEASE read the book. It's set just outside Guildford rather than in the USA and the characters and scenarios are so much better. The 'hero' is about as far from Tom Cruise as you can get.
That's often the case where a film is made from a book. Hollywood producers insist on mangling it.

The Martians were killed by native airborne bacteria because they had no immunity to Earthling germs.

Answer 3

That movie was really bad. Try the original, 1953, it is a lot better. The best is to get a recording of Orson Welles 1938 Mercury Theater radio production of "The war of the Worlds". It panicked the nation. I love it.

Answer 4

while they first took off interior the automobile his son asked him why they have been on the returned roads and not on the constrained-get admission to highway, and he reported he became into attempting to disguise the actuality that they had a working automobile. As for the bodies floating by utilising: definite, the tripod thingeys did blast human beings right into a pant of smoke, while they blasted them in my opinion. there became into finished chaos at that element......possibly a development fell on a bus or some thing. Nitpicking? no longer probably, those are all good factors. Watch it some greater situations and that i would be you have greater questions.

Answer 5

Just in case you are really dying to know :)

The aliens died because they could not adopt to our environment. Tom Cruise and family were reunited. happy ending...

I recommend the book more than the movie though.
