From my point of view the movie sucked by comparison to the book. The original story, set back in the 1890's, was my favorite story when I was in grade school. Dad liked it too, and even named his sailboat "Thunderchild" after the Royal Navy gunboat that takes on the tripods and blows a couple of them out of the water before going down gallantly in the book.
Recommend you all read the original story which is a terrific book even after more than a hundred years since publication.
