While God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness proves less fiery in its preaching than its predecessors, it's also a significantly duller offering.March 29, 2018
Less strident than the two surprise hits that preceded it, but it still tells a programmatic story, rooted in presumptions.March 30, 2018
The film heads in the right direction and conclusion, albeit one that might not appease those who still believe they're victims in some war to take away their religion. (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, etc. - also Available)March 31, 2018
'A Light In Darkness' is 'The Last Jedi' of 'God's Not Dead' moviesApril 05, 2018
To its credit, this third GND installment earnestly attempts to give some degree of lip service to diverging perspectives on the socio-religious-political scale without too much proselytizing, although there's never any question about whose side it's on.March 30, 2018
The third chapter in the conservative Evangelical franchise known for its flabbergasting box office success might have learned some Christian humility. OK, not much humility. But on this map's legend, an inch equals a mile.March 31, 2018

A Light In Darkness isn't as offensive as the first film-it lacks the requisite misogyny and Islamophobia, and does a better job of looking like it's almost a real movie-but it's not far behind, an emblematic film for the foul moment.March 29, 2018
These movies are fundamentalist propaganda aimed at people who are convinced their religion is under attack in this country just because it doesn't exempt them from the Constitution.March 30, 2018
It features all of the familiar elements from the two previous films: a persecution-complex, an 'us vs. them' attitude, and visions of the brave faithful going up against a hostile secular society.April 05, 2018
Altogether, God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness means well, but it needs to drop the editorializing, streamline its story and let its message stand on its own.
