29. I think you're right

I only saw it once in the theater and avoided any other production of it. Checked on Wikipedia and you are right they just look like aliens which in and of itself is another strike against the movie IMO.

They looked like Aliens and they provided one of the most sappy contrived endings I've ever seen in a film. It was so bad just reading about it stimulates my gag reflex.

"However, at David's insistence, they recreate Monica from DNA in the lock of her hair which had been saved by Teddy. Unfortunately, the clone can only live for a single day and the process cannot be repeated. David spends the happiest day of his life with Monica and Teddy, and Monica tells David that she loves him and has always loved him as she drifts to sleep for the final time. David lies down next to her, closes his eyes and goes "to that place where dreams are born". Teddy enters the scene, climbs onto the bed and watches as David and Monica lie down peacefully together."
