One of the few times that I found surround in a film interesting and valid was in the original Tron, where it seemed to be perfectly acceptable and to enhance the on-screen visuals. These days, it’s just mainly annoying and almost always badly balanced, but we know that’s largely down to the lack of maintenance in the one-man operated multiplexes.
I did enjoy the sound and music in The Grand Budapest Hotel in a well-set-up cinema, however, and there was a nice moment during the credits when the double balalaika orchestra wrapped into the surround. I think it happens when the little cartoon Cossack appears at the bottom of the screen.
