Strangely, they didn't mention a plane and the machines were buried in the ground, everywhere, under cities where people would notice the burial, if it was done recently. The pilots flew in later by lighting.

Marshians are killed by earthly bacteria/viruses.

Just how exactly does the new hollywood version differ so greatly from all the other versions????
The ending was abrupt. One minute he was running about, blowing a tripod up and then, as if by a miracle, they all die. There was no build up, they just died. It's pretty hard to explain. Maybe it's the story that it's based on, that I have a problem with, but this film just ends.

Just because it's based on the same story that a previous film was based on, doesn't mean that this version doesn't have flaws.

I have asked this in my earlier post, but can someone explain what happened to Robbie to me?
