Went to see it with the future in-laws this weekend. It was good. Amy and I enjoyed it although Amy's mom was pretty freaked out. Donald Sensing wrote a good review a couple of weeks ago. I share his opinion that the force field is officially the most hackneyed plot device in science fiction. I also share his opinion that the movie itself does not make good sense. For instance, if the Martian war machines were put here ages ago then: (1) Why haven't we accidentally dug one up (2) Why are they all appearing in population centers that didn't exist millenia ago?
Oh by the way, the copyright on the original work has expired so you can read it for free here along with many of Wells other works like the Island of Doctor Moreau and the Time Machine.
Oh and I've posted a spoiler in the comments, avoid them if you have an adverse reaction to such things.
