This theater should be listed as the Oceana!! Nobody is going to search for this classic old Brooklyn theater as the Master Theater. It has become a Russian supermarket for the most part and does not deserve to be associated with this Russian “theater”. ALL THE TRUE MEMORIES OF THIS THEATER IS OF OCEANA! This theater should be listed as CLOSED! Give the Master Theater it own listing or make it a side note!
While the marquee states it as AMC 19th Street East, it still has the look and design of an Loews Theater, unlike the newly refurbished AMC Village VII and AMC Kips Bay. Workers say it too should be/will be revamped into a true AMC Theater in the near future (probably with recliner seats etc..)
Theater is ok to still see a movie even with the nearby Regal Union Square. People still go here to see a movie, but sometimes its cool to go here on a lazy afternoon and see a movie with not much of a crowd to bother you by talking, using cell phones etc…. You can peacefully watch a movie for a change here unlike other noisy crowded multiplexes.
I just want to say that most of the comments on here down playing this theater are very highly exaggerated. It is one on the nicest and largest theaters now in Brooklyn and very nicely kept and still new looking. Compared to sister theater UA Court Street, this theater looks liked it just opened yesterday. Although part of Regal Cinemas, its still operated as United Atrists Theaters. It contains an IMAX screen as well as an RPX screen. The concessions stand contains many items that most Regal Theaters in the area don’t have (except for the Regal E-Walk). Food items include cheesburgers, chicken sandwiches, boneless chicken, waffle fries, pizza, etc..
Sure, over the years we lost many great surrounding theaters due to this theater, but it does have character of its own and should be visited to see movies.
