atmos no below surround

What is wrong with this Dolby Atmos "hear the whole picture"?

Stuart Bowling is clearly reacting to a sound object that has hit the ground.

Yet Atmos doesn't really offer anything that is new or unique. Too many more side wall surrounds and overhead surrounds that I have seen in cinemas from 1977 and 1989. So what is the point of this "immersive" us with surround sound if there is no stereo below surround to offer.
