*potential spoiler*
one mistake i found was when at the start with the EMP thing, how all electricals were stuffed, how did they guy manage to get his video camera working. also, it didnt really explain why the things were dieing and shields were off, unless i missed that.

The pods that penetrated the grounds were huge (as can be seen from the TV Van footage) but the entry hole was no bigger than a person?
Why were the birds on the final tripod machine when it's making such a racket? There's not even blood reeds for them to eat and they are landing on the potentially dangerous machine.
On that note, why would the aliens deactivate their shields? Obviously the tripods are machines capable of generating shields regardless of the health of their drivers.
What kind of disease can be so crippling that it kills the alien in an almost instant (he dried up right before our eyes).
If the aliens like to suck our blood, why do they wipe out with the lasers instead of capturing everybody?
How can Ray (Tom Cruise) possibly use his mouth to unpin two grenades when he was sucked up an airtight pod? Does anyone realize how hard it is to pull a grenade's safety pin by hand, let alone by mouth? How the hell did he manage 2?
And that pod wasn't strong enough to withstand the pulling weight of 15 odd people when it's the size of a room?
Why were the capture pods open air anyway... so that kids can fall out/enjoy the scenery?
Robbie (the son) went to the war front and bloody survived, and reached Boston sooner than Ray and daughter... they could have just followed him in the first place.
A tendril of heavy metal can be cut by a humble handaxe?!?! And the tendril lingers there to be almost completely cut before it withdraws itself from the hole (a bloody instinctive action, I'd say).
The guy who rescued Ray was holding a shovel (and obviously stronger, as seen in the shotgun struggle) when Ray tried to kill him. And Ray came out of the fight with nothing but a tiny scratch on his brow?!?!
Why does the blood they spray end up in red reeds? When Ray and the guy who rescued him got sprayed by the blood, he the blood is in tiny specks and blots, not reeds.
