Nah, hollywood only tends to do it in 2 dimensions, a ring-shaped wave (which I
believe you can get on water surfaces etc, but that's not what I've seen in
movies!). They also make it too prominent and slow-moving. I'm more inclined to
believe the slo-mo because it is spherical, very fast, and fades very rapidly.
Although of course it might be 'shopped!
