The JBL Bar 5.0 is decent for movies. Out-of-the-box, it has a boxy sound profile that adds a little extra punch and boom to your favorite movies. However, it struggles to reproduce low-bass, so you don't feel the deep rumble in action-packed scenes. It supports surround content, but it doesn't offer very impressive performance. Also, it has to downmix Dolby Atmos content into surround, which isn't as immersive.
