I have a 3.1 system and it's still terrible on many movies made after 2010ish.

P.S.

Even properly mastered content will not work well in a noisy environment (e.g. a car or if you have a dozen fans going because it's summer). Here's my ffmpeg filter for such situations (including a stereo downmix, for those without a center channel):

   aformat=channel_layouts=stereo, compand=0 0:1 1:-90/-900 -70/-70 -30/-9 0/-3:6:0:0:0
