"Top Gun: Maverick" aka "Top Gun 2" is one of the better-made '80s revivals that have come out in recent years. It received very high marks from critics and audiences. However, I noticed some glaring plot issues, an overly long runtime at 130 minutes, too much mediocre music, flat characters, and illogical or impossible events. "Mach 10" is, as the name implies, a faster, shorter, more streamlined 95-minute revision of "Maverick" with exciting new music and sound effects.

The overly long, over-edited Best Picture award-winning film by Christopher Nolan has been cut down to an hour-and-a-half-long story focused on The Manhattan Project. The oppressive omnipresent score by Ludwig Göransson was removed, with only three tracks put back in. The rest of the music is from other artists. For scenes with no music, new sound effects have been added. Intercutting of shots and scenes has been greatly reduced.

The comically bad Oliver Stone epic from 2004 has been transformed into a more serious war movie that emphasizes the battles and relationships between Alexander the Great and his Macedonian Companions. Two hours of melodrama, bad acting, and cynicism have been cut. Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Rosario Dawson, and Francisco Bosch have been removed save for a few shots. All narration and the score by Vangelis have also been removed. Vangelis' superior score from "1492: Conquest of Paradise" has been used instead. To fill in for the missing narration and original score, hundreds of new sound effects have been added.
