It's called 'Bullet Time'.
The Matrix is where everyone remembers it, but it seems like the
technique was being refined in music videos and some films in the
previous decade. The original 'Spped Racer' anime used the concept in
the late sixties but it was animation not cine.
Interestingly, Eadward Muybridge and Doc Edgerton captured action with
the same spread of still cameras, but in their days it never occured
to them to render the result as a motion sequence.
