Ah yep. It stuck to the source material.
spoiler
bacteria killed the aliensIf that's your only issue with it, then perhaps worth a rewatch. I really enjoyed the destruction and chaos.
So, I've been complaining about this film for long enough that I've heard the source material argument before. I've not read the original book but just conclude that either A: the book really did end like the film, in which case it was never worthy of making a film about, or B: the book had a better, more nuanced ending which wasn't captured by the film. Either way it's a terrible film that wasted my time!
