A special effect in movies popularized by the movie "The Matrix". In the movie, time is slowed down so much that the viewer can see very fast moving objects such as bullets. Scientist used this technique to study other fast moving objects such as the famous milkdrop shot.
Bullet time in movies however uses cameras that record at speeds anywhere from 100FPS to 2000FPS and then digitally rendered to creat a desired effect (such as "wave trails" left by bullets).
As far as I know, the earliest non-scientific use of bullet time was in Korn's "Freak on a Leash" music video.

Max Payne's adrenaline state / hero power in which time appears to slow, bullets have cool trails and Max just gets that little bit angrier...if really possible with those eyebrows.

Nearly everybody agrees that the most revolutionary technical effect in The Matrix was the use of bullet time, which is the "super slow motion with dynamic camera movement" visual effect used by the Wachowski brothers to stretch and freeze time like taffy during the story. They went on to develop other revolutionary techniques for the Matrix sequels, particularly the "Burly Brawl." But bullet time remains a viewer favorite.

A form of ultra-slow motion mostly based on the principle that motion and time can be seperated. Named for the fact that you can see a bullet frozen in bullet time. Developed by John Gatea and Bill Pope for the Matrix film trilogy.
Wanna know what would make dodgeball awesome? If I had bullet time! But then I'd probably steal someone's wallet in midair and fly away.

super slow-mo effect {slow enough for the audience to see a bulet breaking through the air as it travels, hence the name} pioniered in the hit film "The Matrix".
The effect is created by filming a short scene against a green background using two video cameras and a lot of stills cameras. The images are then added to a computer generated background and then using computers the audience can be spun 360 degres around the action, showing great amounts of detail.

Bullet time battles aka BTB’s are a class trial minigame in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.
They’re the most difficult minigame and don’t require much logic. You play a BTB by locking onto an opponents argument then shooting it to destroy it.

Person A: I’m playing danganronpa 1 and I can’t get past the first class trial. I’m almost done with it though.
Person B: are you having trouble playing the bullet time battle?
Person A: yeah
Person B: those suck.
