How is cinematic sound produced?

Question

This could be a bit subjective, but I think broadly most people know what "cinematic sound" means. At least, in my mind, it is sound that:

Has extraordinary depth
Quite a bit of warmth
Richness and layers

and to feel it, even a half-decent headphone is just about enough to "feel" the sound. It is a sound you automatically associate with sounds that you hear in what used to be called "large hall, big screen cinemas", since about two decades back that's pretty much where one could hear such sounds.

My question, is it possible to create such sounds for voice-over with "home brew" documentaries or pod-casts ? With "home brew", I'd mean equipment you might find in a typical home-studio, that is far from being top-of-the-line. Just some entry-level mid-sized diaphragm microphones (that pretend to be large diaphragm), with something like PreSonus iTwo or Focusrite Scarlette type of digital interfaces, in a partially acoustically-treated (DIY) home-studio.

And if so, what are the techniques (recording), effects (during post-processing) and mixing that may be used to have such effects.

Kindly note that two comments -- one from Tylor Stone, and other from Tood Wilcox have more wisdom in them than my rather dry pointer to a tutorial that I found, which seems to provide some guidance and explanation of how cinematic sounds could be created. However, this one focuses on orchestral music, although my question was more around audio, but for want of better and more pertinent sources, this one might do. One thing to be noted about the tutorial is that the "original" samples that are converted to "cinematic" ones, were already quite high-quality and rich to begin with, but still, the transformation is start (to my ears).

Without much further ado, here's the link to the tutorial:
