Well, those aliens appeared to have had poor economic advisors.

The expense of transporting huge killing machines to another planet and burying them... to leave them for tens of thousands of years... only to be used to kill the dominant species (and provide snacks for the machine operators)... where's the economic sense in that? (Was it meant to be a reminder of al Quaeda cells living in the US?)

The original concept of the machines landing with the invaders inside didn't need changing or embellishment.

I mean, if you're going to change a classic story, couldn't you maybe have a reason?
