Most shows that have Dolby Atmos don’t really do a great job of leveraging its capabilities but some do an amazing job.
Which movies/shows do you think have scenes where Dolby Atmos really adds to your viewing experience?

The opening scene of Kong Skull Island is my go to for showing off sound gear. It starts with silence, then a plane going overhead and a fist fight, then a big bassy monkey.
Oddly the TV show Bodkin on Netflix really used the surrounds. I don’t know if it’s Atmos but whoever did the mix really loved to utilize all the sound channels.
Bodkin was a great show!
I can’t remember if this was Bodkin or another one, but pretty sure it was bodkin, there was a water scene where they had water coming from all around the room, and it really sounded like you were there water wise.
The movie 1917 is my go to for sound.
Apple TV+’s nature show Earthsounds blew me away (though try to ignore how many times they say the word “acoustic” in each episode).
The show Barry seemed to me to have excellent audio engineering.
For example, there was a scene where he’s driving by cars on a motorcycle that had their windows open and each song was like going by on the surround as he passed.
Also, just a fantastic show. Feels like time to do a re-watch, being reminded of it, and though I don’t have fancy speakers, I’ll have to pay extra attention to the audio.
Rings of powersounds really good on my system.
The fire scene in Roma has some great fire sounds on atmos
Avengers endgame (especially the final battle) is really great
