An interpolated footage of the complete Curiosity Rover's descent. Interpolated meaning they turned a 4 frames per second movie into a 25 frames per second, so it looks much more fluid and impressive as the original one.

Watch the complete descent of Curiosity in HD at 25 fps:
And a video with the old 4 fps and the new 25 fps versions playing side by side:
