Generally speaking, a 5.1 setup will eliminate or at least reduce your problems. Now, that's not to say you won't still have the occasional action flick where the dialog is just buried in the mix- it does happen.

Having 4 channels roaring with special effects and dialog coming out the center channel can still be hard to make out at times, but at least then you're receiving the dialog from a point source. And many betters receivers/procs have a "dialog enhancer" mode to combat that very issue (don't like them myself, but they are an option).
