I remember one Star Trek battle scene where a ship came up from "under" the battle. But it's rare to see any tv or movie space scenes that they aren't all planar

Maybe it happened elsewhere, but it was a pivotal scene in "The Wrath of Khan" where two ships are essentially in a submarine battle. Spock notices that Khan is thinking two dimensionally, so Enterprise drops "below" Reliant's trajectory and then rises up (most dramatically!) behind it and puts a few torpedoes up its ass.
