My small town theater first got surround sound for Jurassic Park. It was glorious.

You have 2 ears that provide spatial awareness. Surround sound allows you to hear things all around you.

When you are watching something and you can hear the on-screen characters’ dialog like it’s coming from right in front of you, while hearing sounds of the jungle setting that the characters are in coming from behind, beside, and above you, it’s pretty immersive.

I and surely others have never seen this post. You ever consider that maybe you are on Reddit too often?

I do however always make a point of downvoting those incessantly whining about "reposts", about which there are far more legitimate instances to worry.

This was my favorite move when I was like 4-6, played the VHS so much the tape started to break. My mom always had to stop it before I got to the last bit with the demon because it was too scary.

In hindsight I think little me just loved dinosaurs that much that I was willing to sit through the rest of the movie to get to that bit.

I wonder what people thought about it when it happened. Queen talked about hating recording in stereo the first time because it did not "sound right".

That movie scared the hell out of me when I was 5 and the huge sound was a big part of it!

I think the 52 speakers is just not correct. The linked wiki article says 54, but if you dig into the article for Fantasound, it has a detailed breakdown and no version ever had more than 8 speakers:
