Science Spectrum IMAX

Lubbock · United StatesSingle source

PremiumCinemaIQ rates this IMAX room C, 32/100 — a modest premium screen, 386 m² of dome surface, and it can show the full 1.43:1 frame. The projector generation was never established, so the score is indicative. Data read 21 October 2026.

Operator

⚠ Still trading, but no longer an IMAX venue. Operating as the 'OMNI Theater' on a giant domed screen with current showtimes; no IMAX branding.

This is a dome. The area above is the projected surface, worked out from the diameter by convention rather than measured — and it wraps above and behind you, so it isn't the same thing as the frontal area of a flat screen. Treat the score as a rough peer of the flat screens around it, not a like-for-like comparison.

⚠ A 2021 industry listing recorded a 15/70mm film projector here, and we could find nothing to confirm or refute it. Most multiplex film systems were removed years ago; many museum ones still run. Rather than guess either way, this venue is scored as if the projector were unknown — so if it does still run film, the score below understates it substantially.
