I love alien invasion flicks. I haven't seen the original so I will do that right away in anticipation of this.

I did however read that in the original, the invaders were from Mars, correct? Well...that idea is a little dated, since there isn't any intelligent life on mars. There may be life, but it's not advanced enough to build interstellar space ships and the like.

Also, can someone tell me in the original, why did the martians invade? Fore resources, or something else? This always bugs me in movies. Our planet is so small and insignificant, and there are so many other planets out there that have resources like ours that invading earth for our resources just doesn't cut it for me. Anyway, i'll just have to put that aside if that is the case and enjoy the movie.
