This is not a very clear example, but if you know the film well enough look at 2:03 and 2:40 (when zooming into the guy's face):

I've seen this technique done in a lot of movies such as Gladiator and 300 but I can't pinpoint what it is. To me, it looks like they filmed in a higher frame rate, then slowed down the movie to normal speed. So the effect is that movement is in real time (not time remapped, i.e., slow motion), but there is a "choppiness" to it, like there are missing frames. Can anyone tell me what this technique is?
