And how likely is it that there is a unknown large quantity of the neccesary metallic elements located directly under an urban neighborhood?
It was stated in the movie that the machines were buried a long time ago and that the aliens rode the pods down into them so that they could control them and destroy all humans (and cows).
The writers/producers/director could have kept the aliens method of travel from mars to the earth the same as it was in the book, and had the movie make a whole lot more sense. Which for those of you who don't know: The aliens shot over in large cylindrical objects, had the machines unscrew the lid on it (from the inside, the machines and aliens where both inside the cylinders), and proceeded to do what they did best.
Would have fixed so many plot holes. Cause it takes a really, really, really^extremely, powerful telescope to see something the size of a bacteria on another planet.
