Featured reviews
I've seen worse movies. That being said 'Let There Be Light' wasn't written by a theologian and probably won't win any awards, but it is coherent and has a positive message. In this particular film, an Atheist has a life changing experience and as a result becomes a believer in Jesus Christ. He becomes a changed person.
I've been watching more TV than any other time in my life. It was great to watch a relevant movie about a family that goes through death, distress, sorrow, loss, and remains hope-filled.
You don't have to agree with everything in this flick. I have yet to find any movie except one, 1995 P & P, that I don't find things that I don't like.
A great movie to enjoy with the whole family.
Stay hopeful. These are tough times.
Family & friends are all that matter.
Reading the negative reviews I almost skipped the movie when it popped up on Amazon Prime.
But with Sorbo, who I enjoyed in other movies, I gave it a chance. Glad I did.
Good story, good acting, and well produced.
Yes, it is a movie about faith and overcoming, but more than that it's worth watching and quite enjoyable.
After watching this, I really am questioning Christianity. What a horrible show. Bad things happen, move on. Don't banter about it for almost 2 hours. The stereotype of the drunken atheist "bad person", who is reformed by Christianity is so over the top here it's unbelievable. Then to have sean hannity get involved, uugh, now I'm thinking Christians are the "bad guys". Glad it was only 1h 40 mins. Please stop making this junk.
Chock full of the favorite myths of Christians about non-Christians, this groaner just serves to preach to the already bloated egos of its choir. The plot is boring and predictable, the main character a laughable caricature, and the writing falls right in with the current political climate in encouraging people to give in to hate and fear of the "other". That the acting is so poor is almost forgivable considering the script. Among the ridiculous straw men: atheist who is really just a misotheist who "hates god" after a personal tragedy, atheist who converts on deathbed, atheist who cares only about drinking and partying and mocking people, atheist who somehow magically discards all reason for mythical thinking with no impetus whatsoever. I'd find it absurd if so many Christians didn't actually believe this rubbish.

- TriviaKevin Sorbo's real-life wife and sons play his wife and sons in the movie.
- GoofsIt is implied in the movie that atheists are as they are because they 'hate God/gods' because of some personal tragedy. But by definition atheists have no belief in any gods, so would harbor no such hatred towards an imaginary entity.
