What does Dolby Atmos and dts:X do? Reengineered or synthesized?

My processor has a zillion surround modes for different halls and it's interesting, but I prefer stereo.

OTOH, I was watching a movie last night and the orchestra comes in with full surround and it was fantastic as it's engineered for multi-channel where you're just getting reinforcement that feels of a real bigger venue.

Jets coming in from behind to drop bombs and such are excellent already. It makes you want to look behind.

I just don't know what Dolby Amos means. Most of the later codecs seemed to be just adding more speakers for height and rear height and who cares. I don't need 10 speakers for surround. Calling it Dolby Atmos with a soundbar and blue tooth surrounds is just 5.1 with a different name.
