Featured reviews
watching this maudlin, very predictable, tedious movie bored me. Absolutely no spoiler is necessary. As soon as I got hold of the main character (Kevin Sorbo,) I knew what was going to happen. The acting was sort of mixed mediocre with the children looking like "Hey, I'm acting!" I enjoy feel good movies but this was soap opera quality.
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.
No need to go past the previews for this one. Kevin Sorbo plays the same angry antitheist that he played in 2014's God is Not Dead, who doesn't exist. What an atheist really says: there is as much evidence for a Christian God as there is for Piranha Sharks, another 2014 movie Sorbo was in where he is far down in the list of credits. I am comfortable in my skin in saying YOUR God doesn't exist and a minute away from believing in any God that cares to contact me, as what happens to Sorbo's character in this movie.
I suppose those embracing the frothing at the mouth atheist converting to God the way Scrooge turns into a decent guy trope might find this entertaining. I am entertained by beyond reality movies, not so much by unhinged from reality Sean Hannity. Added a star for what appears decent production values.
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.
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.

- 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.
