I'm watching Source Code again and it made me wonder how is it that you get a director that makes inventive science fiction movies like Moon and Source Code and just cannot make another good movie again? I've seen this with many directors and I don't get it.

I legitimately thought when Duncan Jones made those two movies he was the Ridley Scott of that generation of directors. Just wildly entertaining but smart science fiction movies that were ridiculously tightly made. And after seeing Warcraft and Mute it just feels like a different filmmaker I’ve seen this happen with Neil Blompkamp who has had like 2 or 3 comeback attempts as well and it’s not hitting. It’s weird.
