War of the worlds is an old story written by H. G. Wells. The movie is an adaptation of that story. If you don’t like the ending, take it up with Wells, not Spielberg.

Yeah. Of all possible complaints, I didn't expect to see that one.

Honestly, I really appreciate how pure Spielberg kept to H.G. Wells' original vision. The unflappable lack of deviation from the source materials from beginning to end is astonishing when it would have been so easy to modernize the story for contemporary palettes.
