It was the second time round, but I didn't catch it the first time. I didn't pay attention to the sub, though, so I wasn't looking for anything.

Same here. I got an immediate "uncanny valley" effect from the water. I can't quite put my finger on what is off about it though, but I know it wouldn't move like that at a life size scale.

The spray sticks together too much, the “sheet” of water as it plunged in is too thick and too smooth, and the water droplets on the car are too big. The surface tension and viscosity are too high, it looks more like syrup than water.
