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.

Easy, when the aliens are down in the basement looking around, have them make coughing/sneezing type noises, and look ill and weak.
