The Luna Theater

What a hidden gem! The Theater is located in Mill No.5, which by itself is an amazing cultural resource for the city. We have seen two movies here — both were excellent and reasonably priced. This is not your traditional movie theater experience. The atmosphere is warm, unique and inviting. Show up a couple minutes early to play the 4 or 5 free vintage arcade games in the lobby. Grab a beer or glass of wine at the concession stand, pull up a red padded arm chair, and enjoy the show!

A hidden gem! Came here for the first time today. Was sort of confused trying to find the place because there aren’t any signs (it’s behind a steel gate, on the fourth floor). But what a great place! There are trendy little shops on the way in to the theater (super cute btw!). And the seats are really comfy and come with little tables for your drinks and snacks. Definitely coming back again soon!

Love, love, love the Luna! We discovered last fall and have been back numerous times. Just watched Casablanca yesterday for Valentines Day, it was sold out!
We’ve been to Weirdo Wednesday, free tickets, but, you don’t know what they are playing, until the show starts. They just started Nostalgia Fridays with free movies from the 80’s and 90’s, think Princess Bride and Dirty Dancing for February! Free kids movies on Sunday mornings. Twofer Tuesdays. The classics on Sundays are only $ 5.00! You seriously cannot beat this place for a good time! The only thing we have not done yet is the Thursday jazz nights. soon though.
They have wonderful independent films and animation films, all great stuff!
I see people commenting on the popcorn, which is really good popcorn, and paired with a Sculpin IPA? YUM! Yes, they have a great little selection of craft beers, always rotating, better than most of the restaurants in Lowell!
The seating is great, we actually prefer the «balcony» seats in the back for most movies. But the club chairs below are awesome too.
The people that work there rock too!

There really is nothing else like this place. Friendly people great atmosphere! Will be back many times.

Awesome little place in the back of mill number five. They specialize in showing indie and cult films and have a number of fun events like weirdo Wednesday. The owner is normally always present is welcoming, humorous, and passionate. Atmosphere inside the theater is cozy and comfortable, definitely get some food from the table near the ticket booth or enjoy your movie with a cold brew from coffee and cotton.

Awesome local independent theatre. They’ve got a great setup here, with a top notch movie selection and comfortable seating. Even got the classics some nights. Worth checking out whether you’re in the area or out of town.

Luna is, by far, the best movie theater I’ve ever visited. It’s an Indie /​Artsy theater, so the movies that play here are not the just-​released, action-​packed kind, but rather documentaries, Oscar-​nominated, and sometimes oldies (Princess Bride, anyone?) Tickets are $ 10, they have a snack bar with popcorn, candy and drinks, and the chairs and tables are super comfy and convenient. There is a small table for every two chairs, I believe, which makes for quite a comfortable experience.
I can’t imagine this place ever gets crowded (there were only about 10 people in the movie we went to on Sunday afternoon), but if you’re coming from far away, there is an option to buy your tickets online.
I loved the old-​school snack commercials they played before the film. Total throw-​back! Also, the previews are all unique, intriguing, indie films, making the experience a little more interesting than that at your typical movie theater.

An absolute TREASURE!
We thoroughly enjoyed the classic, comfortable seating. The seats are roomy and even include a small round «coffee» table for every two seats. The quality of the cinema experience was outstanding!
Love the «indie» selections and even mainstream films scheduled to appear.
This is quite clearly the best kept secret in a vibrant downtown Lowell (MA).
Spread the word and experience it yourself!!!

The Luna is the coolest, most comfortable movie theatre ever.
So you found 250 Jackson street, and the right elevator to take you to the 4rth floor; you’re almost there!
Just walk down the length of Mill 5, an awesome old mill building reborn as a hipster main street lined with cool shops. Way at the end of the hall you’ll see the old school lit letters spelling out ‘Luna’. It’s like being in a dream.
The friendly folks at the counter will help you with tickets and treats; DO NOT pass on the popcorn which is made in a sweet vintage machine and is exceptionally delicious. The theatre is tiered and the seats are like sitting in the most comfortable easy chair you’ve ever sat in. Instead of awkward cup holders there are little round tables to put your stuff on. Before the show, there were a few fun little vintage trailers including one to entice you to go get an Orange Crush and one for a film starring Lowell’s own Bette Davis. The projected image is super crisp state of the art as is the sound. Thank you for reading this review.

Nice cozy cinema with big arm chairs and elegant wood tables for snacks. They have many interesting movies (independent, foreign, documentaries, animated). It’s in a historic building (Mill #5). It has nice vintage decorations with a friendly staff who love what they do: celebrate good and classic films in a grass roots supported cinema. It has artsy vintage stores and a café in the hallway leading to the theater. Parking on the street. Hopefully they will have more shows and films as they expand.
Spread the word. Great experience.

Beautiful theater in a cool spot! We came by in September and saw what was their first-​ever screening («Frank»). For that, I’ll give them a pass on a few technical glitches that occurred during the movie. The seats are definitely the most comfy I’ve ever come across in a movie theater, and the tables for your snacks (cupholders in armrests are apparently passé?) are a nice little luxury.
There weren’t a lot of people at our screening, so hopefully more Lowell residents will catch on to this gem in their own backyard.
