Review of the movie Na Tra: The Demons of Chaos (Na Tra 2)
The Chinese film market is witnessing a fierce race between blockbusters for the 2025 Lunar New Year, when a series of blockbusters simultaneously "sold out the box office" from January 29. The most prominent is the phenomenon of Na Tra: Ma Dong Nao Hai - a famous animated film that broke all records when it earned 500 million NDT (1,550 billion VND) in the blink of an eye, officially taking the throne of revenue on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
According to Sina, the Chinese box office is like a "powder keg" with the fierce competition between the film titles. However, Na Tra has shown its unrivaled strength when surpassing a series of heavyweights to achieve a huge revenue of 500 million NDT after only 7 hours of showing - a number that surprised the film industry with its lightning speed of "making money".
Part 2 quality does not go down
Not only dominating the box office, Na Tra: Ma Dong Nao Hai 2 also challenged all prejudices about the sequel when it continuously made a "double win" mark: huge revenue combined with top artistic quality. After 4 days of showing, the film not only set a new record of 1,000 billion VND in revenue but also made Douban "hotter" than ever when the score skyrocketed from 8.2 to 8.6 - a rare rating for Asian movies!
5 years of waiting - 5 star quality:
A feat of engineering: 3,000 CGI shots, 2 years of post-production investment.
"Heart-wrenching" scenario: Unexpected twist, details covered social networks with 500,000 discussions.
"Top of the top" acting: Choking voiceover in the scene where Na Tra faces his fate.
"I thought part 1 was the best, but part 2 made my heart melt even more!" - A viewer shared. The production team turned pressure into motivation, as evidenced by a series of beautiful scenes like ink paintings combined with Hollywood cinematography.
As director Tieu Khiet once promised: "Every frame must be filled with passion", Na Tra 2 has kept its promise, making viewers both thrilled and excited. Critics commented: "This is no longer a movie, but a new generation cultural phenomenon". With this comprehensive "huge" achievement, Na Tra 3 promises to be the next million-dollar blockbuster to make history!
Energized with strong appeal from Na Tra 1
Not simply a sequel, Na Tra: Ma Dong Nao Hai 2 is creating a rare miracle by completely inheriting the quintessence of the first version - proving the philosophy that "a big tree can only grow tall when it has a solid root". While its competitors in the same Tet season (Detective Chinatown 1900: 6.6 points, Phong Than 2: 6.3 points) struggled to retain the audience, Na Tra 2 easily took the top spot with 8.6 points on Douban - a rare "double win" achievement when it both inherited a huge fanbase from part 1 and conquered even the most demanding audiences!
Secret to "sucking blood" from Na Tra 1:
Recreating the "magical" formula from the 2019 $5.6 billion blockbuster: combining Hollywood cinema + Asian cultural elements.
Processing 1,900 scenes (twice as many as part 1) with 180,000 frames meeting 4K cinema standards.
Listen to 20,000 audience opinions after Na Tra 1 to optimize the script.
"We put every scene in part 2 on the scale to compare with the first part. Every second of the film must be worthy of being a perfect upgraded version" - Director Tieu Khiet revealed on 163. The result is a top-notch performance of special effects that made 93% of the audience exclaim: "Beautiful down to every strand, more satisfying than part 1!".
"Na Tra 2 is like fine wine - the longer it is aged, the more delicious it becomes. The 5 years of waiting have been well rewarded!" - Comment from a Douban account with 15,000 followers. With this cross-generational appeal, Na Tra is no longer a series - it has become a cultural phenomenon connecting millions of fans' hearts!
The film has many humorous elements that capture the hearts of all ages.
Continuing the success of the first part, Na Tra 2 turns the legendary story into a colorful entertainment feast by skillfully mixing eye-catching action with a series of "heart-stopping" comedy situations. The duo Na Tra and Ngao Binh - the sons of the Eastern Sea Dragon King - reappear in a "half-crying, half-laughing" situation when their bodies are at risk of disintegrating. Thai At Chan Nhan's plan to merge soul and body with a divine lotus flower is thwarted by divine forces, opening a series of breathtaking but equally humorous events.
Each scene is filled with valuable comedy: the scene where Na Tra and Tai Yeu "mold" Ngao Binh into a distorted version that makes the audience laugh out loud, or the "crazy" dialogue like "If cultivating immortality were that easy, the world would soon be full of immortals!". The film breaks down age barriers by balancing mythological elements and modern perspectives: Children are fascinated by the winding fire dragons like paintings, young people enjoy the battle scenes as beautiful as AAA games, while parents nod in agreement with the profound message about the journey to overcome fate through the character Than Cong Bao.
With a "difficult" script and a cast of "unique" characters, Na Tra 2 turns every minute into a thrilling and refreshing experience. The director cleverly weaves Gen Z jokes into the fairy world , creating a unique "dialogue" between fairy tales and modern times. Combined with top-notch special effects and catchy soundtrack, the work proves: A true masterpiece must make the audience laugh out loud and hold their breath with every plot twist!
The main character of the movie is well built.
The film version of Na Tra conquers the hearts of audiences with a skillful combination of traditional "rebellious" qualities and modern psychological depth. From the image of a "rebellious child" in Phong Than Bang, filmmakers have breathed life into the character through 3 layers of complex emotions: the adorable "dumpling" appearance with chubby cheeks and a unique red fire shape, the straightforward and chivalrous personality deeply rooted in East Asian culture, and the generational loneliness of a person with the identity of a "faulty child" - born with a curse but determined to break fate. Na Tra's appeal comes from an intentional paradox: a mischievous "little devil" who destroys the village but makes viewers feel sorry through moments of questioning "Why was I born a disaster?", a hero who values chivalry but is not afraid to challenge the will of heaven with the philosophy "Ghost or fairy - being true to yourself is what is worthy!". This success comes from the balance between the original identity (hot-tempered personality, rebellious spirit) and the contemporary perspective (longing for freedom, obsession with identity), turning Na Tra into an artistic bridge between thousand-year-old myths and the minds of the young generation.
Summary of the movie Na Tra: Ma Dong Noi Hai (Na Tra 2)
Surpassing all expectations, Na Tra 2 affirms its position as a multifaceted blockbuster when it skillfully combines eye-catching entertainment elements with a profound humanistic meaning. From the "eye-catching" special effects scenes such as the thousand-petal lotus battle to the "brain-balancing" character design of Na Tra - Ngao Binh between tragedy and comedy, the film created a global fever thanks to its innovative storytelling. The audience is drawn into the unexpected journey of saving the world, where each action scene is spiced with humorous dialogues typical of Gen Z ("If cultivating immortality was that easy, the world would be full of immortals!"). Behind the fiery entertainment shell, the work contains a motivational message about daring to live truthfully ("Ghost or immortal - the boundary is only drawn by people!"), encouraging young people to overcome prejudices to shine. The success of Na Tra 2 lies not only in its "huge" revenue but also in its ability to innovate myths, turning a thousand-year-old story into a mirror reflecting the aspirations and feelings of the modern young generation.

Movie content Na Tra: Demons and Rebellion (Na Tra 2)
Tran Duong Quan – a seemingly peaceful land – turns into a bloody chessboard when Thai At Chan Nhan uses That Sac Bao Lien to revive Na Tra and Ngao Binh, two wronged souls trapped in the illusory world. The lotus body radiates a halo but contains a fateful curse: Na Tra struggles with the identity of a "ghost child with the shape of a Buddha", while Ngao Binh – his reluctant companion – faces the obsession of "disappearing like dust". In the meantime, the plot of Than Cong Bao – the one who disguises himself as a savior to release the Four Dragon Kings – turns the city into an arena of death. Dong Hai Dragon King Ngao Quang reveals his true form with the ambition to "wash away the thousand-year-old shame with a black tide", pouring deadly fury on Tran Duong Quan. The cinematic picture interweaves three layers of tragedy: the distorted revival of broken souls, the bloody rise of old power, and the confrontation between deviant heroism and bottomless greed. Through the magical shell, Na Tra 2 exposes the painful question: Can the new body save the blood-stained soul? - the eternal problem of humanity in the journey to find the self.
