Yes, I've seen it and I kinda liked it
. If I was to explain my impression of the movie, I would say it was hell of a ride. The picture goes on
very fast and you have almost no time to think about what is happening.

that's what you get by filming an adaptation of a 1898 book, where the aliens were martians and the red weed was a vegetation growing on mars, that's why the Mars is red

tripods were biomechanical.

well you happen to know that there were some tripods buried under the cities
the others might have been elsewhere
.
And how about I give you some crazy explanation on the movie?
.
US (or whichever other) goverment run into a tripod buried under ground a couple of years before the invasion. It is of course were cept top secret. They analyze it's biomechanical structure and can't really make sense of it
, but it DOES look like some fighting machine (a potential threat) and therefore a special biological weapon is developed (trust me we humans do have tens of years of experience in this field). Once the attack has been launched the virus is released, the rest is a (movie) history.
