Glossary Entry: Bullet Time
Definition
Bullet time refers to sequences in an action movie or game where the flow of time slows down for everyone except a specific character, allowing them extra time to react to what's going on around them.
This was popularized by the movie The Matrix, where it allowed characters to move faster than bullets, hence the name.
