I currently have a simplistic home theater set-up and I do enjoy the rear effects in both Video games such as Dragon Age or Mass Effect or the Last of Us. And I enjoy it in films like The Thing as the helicopter flying overhead and behind you adds to the overall enjoyment.

Is it necessary? No. But then a stereo system of any kind isn't necessary - we can watch youtube through the TV screen with earbuds or TV speakers.

I've often said the same thing about home theater back in the mid 90s with Dolby Pro-Logic. But my current Marantz 5.1 surround receiver for a whole $350 sounds way WAY better than my mid 1990s $2,000 Pioneer Elite.

I don't think surround makes a movie better - it is simply an enhancement of the experience. And I quite liked the first two Terminator films.
