It's an adaptation of the book and that is how it ended... humanity didn't stand a chance and survived the attack by pure luck.

If they held true to the novel then yes, it has ended the same way.

after i watched it i felt like those things went unanswered, i felt like they ran out of material, and i felt like they rushed it. all in the name of making money.
Well the movie tries to follow the line of Cruise's family exclusively. You do not no see more than they do and you also do not know more than they do .

No they simply got ill and died.. probably because of some of the Earth's viruses. The same virus was very likely also fatal to theirs "red weed" vegetation.
