Actually I pick up lots of spatial cues from 5 channel movie surround in lots of pictures that are not action/adventures.

God examplesof 3D spatial cues include voices and music in various building sizes, or outside. Also, the way a sound intentionally pans across the soundstage (especially if it goes crosswise front to back).

The best realistic 3D example (DTS) I've experienced in my home relates to a previous life experience I had in Vietnam.

In the movie "Dances with Wolves" there is a scene where Kevin Kostner is being fired upon in the Civil War, where a bullet whizzes by narrowly missing his head (maybe 6" to a foot). This spatial cue was a front to back soundstage pan. My brain has that sound burned into it's memory and when I experienced that sound in the movie, my body instinctively ducked it was so real.
