>>11526960Honestly no. That's part of why I love it: there's nothing like it.
The whole thing was there were like 3 sets that had human astronauts, and then the majority of the sets were focused on these martian aliens and their alien mechs and technology.
Early Bionicle had this really interesting tension where you weren't supposed to be sure if the Toa were friendly or hostile to each other, and the Life on Mars sets had the same thing, where you weren't sure if the martians were suppose to be friendly or hostile.
And then it had this intense late 90's early 00's sci-fi vibe.
Maybe you could get very vaguely similar vibes from Star Trek: Voyager
The Avatar movies are kinda similar on a surface level, being a story about aliens where human characters are the minority, but frankly it doesn't feel similar at all - the Ayys in Life on Mars are more technologically advanced than the human characters, and have way more personality than the aliens in Avatar.
Honestly the closest thing you could possibly get to Life on Mars might be playing Halo 2, which has half of its story mode devoted to playing as an alien and explores his alien culture.
It kinda feels similar, but even there, Life on Mars is more optimistic/exploration themed, where Halo 2 is about a big space war.
