I agree that complaining is futile. Yes Sheepshead Bay UA is one of the largest but I disagree that it is one of the cleanest. It is average at best.
I have had a better overall experience in many of the smaller Brooklyn theatres, to name a few; Cobble Hill Cinema, BAM Rose Cinema, The Pavilion and Brooklyn Heights Cinema. Yes, I continue to go to UA occasionally for convenience, usually at off peak times.
Side bar, one of the best movie theaters is the Sunshine in the Lower East Side. Regarding food, this is NYC and there is a plethora of choices at all times.
Sheepshead Bay UA has become a disappointing theatre. The teenage staff is sometimes pleasant but many have been rude, the popcorn is usually stale, seats are uncomfortable and the bathrooms dirty.
Women of all types never cease to amaze me with their messy toilet habits. Which explains why some of the young staff is rude, who wants to clean up other peoples urine? Also, when it rains the bathrooms have several buckets collecting water from the light fixtures. This is a big safety hazard.
I have been there many times and have learned to accept this dismal excuses for a movie theatre. Sad, yes, but during these hot summer days it is a cool escape from my hot non-air conditioned home. I bring my own snacks and water for sustenance, ignore the terrible sound system which is not monitored and always too painfully loud and I try to look past the occasionally dirty and scratched films.
This theatre has so much potential. It is a real shame that UA and the Sheepshead Bay management have let the film experience of so many go down.
Rockaway, just a few minutes away, one exit off the Belt, is the perfect place for a small boutique style movie theatre. The factory style, as some have described below, robs viewers of a real film experience.
