My favorite local cinema. I love their kids combo: drinks, popcorn, gummies for around $6. And the Tuesday deals are amazing. It’s always clean and well run. We will keep coming back! Lots of great places to eat right here too,

Always loved this smaller theater. This was our first time back after the renovations. Service is great. Ticket prices are so reasonable. We really like the smaller theater rooms- still perfect to enjoy the films without feeling overly cramped with bodies. You can find local craft beers and wine for adults and can still enjoy the Icee machines with some buttery, hot popcorn. Seats rock and are very cushioned. Comfortable seating. We will be back for more feature films.

I really enjoyed the theater, it was clean, well-kept, and all the staff was friendly. But it was almost impossible for us to enjoy the movie. We bought our tickets the morning of the movie and selected seats in the back-row, since it is usually the most preferable place to sit. However, this was the most uncomfortable and genuinely impossible place to be. I am 4'11, so drastically below the average height of individuals and I could not sit in my seat without having to put my legs in my chair or sit them to the side because there literally was NO LEG ROOM. The seats in front of us reclined, like the rest of the seats in the theater, but there was way less space between our chairs and theirs than any other row. My knees were crushed and in pain by the end of the movie, and you can only imagine how horrible it was for my 6 foot boyfriend and the other people on the row. Furthermore, the theater was extremely hot in the back row. We asked if we could move to literally anywhere else, and told no. I really recommend this theater, but strongly advise everyone to stay away from the back row. You will not be comfortable, enjoy the movie, or even be able to get up for snacks or the bathroom because no one can move. This was obviously the result of poor planning, but it should be prefaced on the website when trying to buy tickets for that row.

Nice theater that may now be owned by the community. The individual theaters aren't big, but no issue getting a seat even with the most popular films. Popcorn is fresh and very good. Sodas are self serve and may offer refills. Will make a point to come here rather than the national chains.

Nice neighborhood movie theater. I wish there were earlier weekday matinees outside of summer, but I do realize not many others attend movies at that time of day.

Old school feel. Over all this place was great. The reason I took one star away is because there was an odd smell in the theater, which at this point I kind of expect away the older theaters. It was a great experience though. I can't say for sure if we will go back or not but it's a possibility. I loved that we were about the only people on the theater. Also I like the fact that you don't have to purchase "seats". It was very inexpensive compared to the places we generally go too.

Awesome local theater. The seats are comfortable. The tickets and snacks are a good price. I stuck around to see the extra scenes at the end of the film and got to talking to one of the employees. He was super personable and it was cool to talk about film with someone right after. I can't wait to come back.

2022 we are thrilled they’ve finally reopened to indoor movies. Seats are new and comfortable but I personally find the space between the rows tight. If I even try to cross my ankles I will rock the seat in front of me. But that’s the only downside to the updated Lumina. Staff is attentive and place was spotless. Restrooms got a great upgrade. They have a nice outdoor seating area to sit and have a drink /snack. Definitely glad to be able to walk to the movies again! 2019 What can I say? I love Lumina. I can walk to it from my house and the staff is friendly and the movie times work for everyone. I love that they play old movies as well as the newest flick.
