five-second microcosm is a moment in a Tiradesverse movie that is, as would be expected, roughly five seconds long and can ironically encapsulate the entire movie in that brief amount of time. Another way of saying this would be, "This scene is the entire movie in five seconds..."

This is mainly a way for James to make a cynical comment on how a film's director and writer(s) made the film in question.
