Well, what would you suggest? Wiping the aliens out with a computer virus like the last modernized version of WotW?

There's really no way around making an ending to the story that doesn't just peeter out. After the human race hits the Martians with everything, the Martians still win, only to get taken out by common germs. That's the way H.G. Wells wrote the original, and that's the way the remakes are going to stay (unless you want to just completely fuck around with the story, like the afore-mentioned Independence Day) It might not be entirely impossible to make that less anti-climactic, but I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a way.
