That same title sequence shows the rotation of the B737 at almost phenomenal speed - (I think it leaps off the ground in about a second - it should take about 6 seconds) where the film has obviously been speeded up.

This is another example of TV fartassing about with reality to make it look more "dramatic" or "convincing", so I wouldn't be surprised at all if your perceptions were playing tricks on you - it's probably just a piece of clever editing.

EZY SOPs for takeoff are broadly the same as what Pilot Pete said, so either way, I think your sanity is OK (on this point at least!)
