I think there's a scene in The Matrix where Neo does a bullet dodge in slow-motion and you also see the camera rotate around Neo, what do you call this effect?

For example:

The ____ when Neo dodges bullets in slow-mo was cool.

It's known by various terms, though the one I've heard used most often is bullet time. There are other names listed there - frozen moment, dead time, flow motion. It's even used in adverts on TV, these days.
