In my opinion, no. Unless you really need something to do, or an excuse to get out of doing something. Whichever.
Heatstroke is your typical Sci Fi film, and by typical I mean "god awful". From what I bothered to understand, aliens were on earth causing global warming. I was waiting for Al Gore to make a cameo, and perhaps kick some alien patootie (which would have probably made the movie better) but no such luck. How sad is that? Aside from the plot, the most disappointing aspect of Heatstroke is the aliens. From the previews I thought it was another Raptor Island, but raptor-like aliens with weird smirks and face-melting breath? Who would have thought? Anyway, the CGI is possibly the worst I've ever seen, even for pretty low budget films. It's laughable, and that's the last thing I want to be doing while watching a "scary" movie.
I thought the gore content was rather minimal, and the deaths usually happened in the same manner, which became old after a while. It's a good thing that I had my computer handy, or else I might have been bored. On the plus side, the gore was occasionally more realistic than a majority of such films I have seen. Unfortunately, that's not enough to save this movie for me.
If you're a lover of Sci Fi films and desperately hold on to the idea that one day they will be worth watching, you could give this one a try. I wouldn't have high hopes though.
