Good list. It also gives a number of good reasons why a particular film didn't end up on the list, as well as a number of films which deserved honourable mentions.

There's a few I haven't seen, either. This gives me something to do this weekend.

We thought it would be interesting if we could coagulate the most commonly cited dystopian movies and rank them not to preference, but to an average score made up of both Rotten Tomatoes (RT) and IMDB ratings.

As you all will probably know, the Internet Movie Database allows movie fans and registered users to rate each movie from 1 to 10 and the final score is said to reflect the general audience's view of the movie. In contrast, Rotten Tomatoes rates their movies by collecting and tabulating the reviews given by professional film critics.

We've taken both ratings, added them together and found an average score for each film. Each of the films are then ranked according to this average score. We've also included links to the IMDB and RT profile for each movie so you can learn more about the movie.
