Sorry but this movie was just wrong.
War of the Worlds should be a story about the struggle of man against the Aliens not a man struggling to contrrol his kids.
It was originaly set in 19th century rural England, where man only had cannons, guns, his best weapon was a steam ship called the thunder child (which was destroyed very quickly).
The shield protecting the aliens was the only way to have the Aliens defend themselves.
To me the movie suffered the same thing as Titanic and The Day After Tomorrow, the story was secondary the FX was what you went to see.
