Basically, movies that try to be about scientific themes, but get so much science wrong it's utterly moronic in execution?
Disaster movies are the classic paradigm of this. They know their audience doesn't actually know a damn thing about plate tectonics or solar flares or whatever, and so they are free to completely ignore physical laws to create whatever disaster they want, while making it seem like real science, usually with hip nerdy types using big words, and a general or politician going "English please".
It's even better when it's not on purpose and it's clear that the filmmakers thought they they were educated and tried to implement real science and botch it completely. Angels and Demons with the Antimatter plot fits this well.
