3 premium screens
Tomball
There are 3 premium screens in Tomball, across IMAX, 4DX and ScreenX. The biggest picture is at Regal Lone Star 19 & IMAX — 246 m² of lit screen.
No room here can show the full 1.43:1 IMAX frame. Every screen in Tomball crops to 1.90 or wider, so a film shot with IMAX cameras will be missing about a quarter of its picture wherever you see it.
Worth knowing before you book: Regal Lone Star 19 & IMAX never lights 17% of its screen. The fabric is bigger than the picture, which is why the ranking here is by lit area rather than by the dimensions cinemas advertise.
Ranked
Scored on the picture each room actually lights, not the fabric it is painted on. A tilde means the projector rests on a single dated source.
Choosing in Tomball
Screen you will be sold and never see
One room here advertises more screen than any film will light. Regal Lone Star 19 & IMAX leaves 17% dark — 50 m² of fabric that never carries a picture.
Worth leaving Tomball for
Dolby Cinema at AMC Gulf Pointe 30 is 38 mi away and beats everything in Tomball.
