History YMMV / LetThereBeLight2017

** The space view of the Earth during the "Let There Be Light" event looks very fake with its CGI.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Some people have pointed out that Pastor Vinny's backstory is way more interesting than Sol's; considering that it seems based on his actor, Michael Franzese's, RealLife experiences (see RealitySubtext) some people wonder if it the movie would have worked better if it would have been about him.

** Sean Hannity reporting that the "Let There Be Light" movement was even visible in '''UsefulNotes/NorthKorea''' was too unbelievable to be taken with a straight face. As [[FridgeLogic it would imply]] that North Koreans actually celebrate Christmas, download apps on their mobile phones and watch Sean Hannity.

* InformedWrongness: The neurologist who treats Harkens after his accident gives the rational, medical explanation for his near death experience; yet she is dismissed as just another atheist in the movie (you know this because she immediately introduces herself as a pre-conversion Harkens' fan).

** The "Tunnel of Light" sequence is very poorly done, Harkens' feet even clip through it.

* AcceptableTargets: The movie makes several potshots at [=ISIS=], even when it feels forced and they have nothing to do with the story.
-->'''[[WebVideo/TheBibleReloaded Jake]]:''' ISIS IS BAD!!! IT'S BAD AND WE DON'T LIKE ISIS!!!

* CriticalResearchFailure: It is mentioned several times that Jesus was born "on the darkest night of the year"; barring the debate of the actual time of the year of Jesus' birth, the winter solstice (which is the year's ''longest'' night on the hemisphere, which also means it only applies [[WeAllLiveInAmerica for the northern hemisphere]]) takes place usually a couple of days ''before'' Christmas.

** The scene when Katy [[spoiler:starts convulsing because of her brain tumor]] is supposed to be very dramatic, but due to poor acting from the Sorbo family, it comes off as unintentionally funny. WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob certainly agreed with this, as during [[https://youtu.be/YVrSzUUSTk4?t=22m37s his review of the film]], he dubbed a fart noise over the scene; also [[WebVideo/TheBibleReloaded Hugo and Jake]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkuibB54gbI&t=49m50s on their review]] burst unto laughter and played a looping footage of the scene with funny music.

** The film seems to suggest that Harkens' son [[AesopCollateralDamage getting cancer and dying]], him becoming an "atheist" and then suffer a near-death-experience where he specifically sees his dead son was part of "God's plan" for Harkens to renew his faith and bring more people into Christianity. Some people see this as a messed-up message once FridgeLogic kicks in.

* {{Harsher in Hindsight}}: Dr. Sol tearfully telling his son, "I don't want to go" as his hand starts disintegrating becomes this when a year later, {{Film/Avengers: Infinity War}} would do the exact same thing with {{spoiler!Spider-Man's now iconic death.}}
