This drama about the spiritual awakening of “the world’s most famous atheist’” is predictably simplistic and maudlin in content. But it should satisfy the target demographic with an inspirational family-values message wrapped in a sudsy narrative. Read full review

Despite frequent self-seriousness, a melodramatic third act and a seeming fixation with Islamic State, this unevenly acted, Alabama-shot film is not without its stabs at humor. Read full review

Everyone here emotes like they’re acting in an electric toothbrush ad. Read full review

A wonderful movie with a powerful message of hope, redemption, and trusting in God's sovereignty.

I loved Let There Be Light! It was a very inspirational film. The movie from start to finish was great. This movie made my faith in God stronger. I saw it twice. I suggest that everyone should see this movie!

Three times during this film I negotiated that "golf ball in the throat" feeling, and in the end it prevailed. Tears might be your result too, but the heartwarming message of hope, love, and even redemption can bring a calming strength and resolve to any turbulent thoughts one might have.

Faith is not a prerequisite to enjoy this film. The Sorbo Family is convincing and the delivery of their message is a refreshing change from the typical fabric of entertainment today.… Expand

Very badly acted and written. Sorbo was more enjoyable running around as the son of Zeus. Shameless plug for Sean Hannity and Fox News. If you want to watch a movie about God, watch Thor instead!

one of the worst films i've ever has the displeasure of sitting through.

Avoid this like the plague because the plague would actually be more enjoyable.

Where do I even begin? This wasn't even truely recognizable as a professional movie. It struck me as a sunday school class's improv project. (My apologies to children's improv for the comparison).

It struck me as a sunday school class's improv project. (My apologies to children's improv for the comparison). It was clumsy and ham fisted in its message of "Christians good, Others bad, Join us or else!" message. The acting by 3rd rate has-beens played as if it was their 2nd time reading through the script. It was clearly slapped together for a specific audience that would automatically shell out their money for a movie that supported thei message.… Expand
