This is an updated version of Curiosity's descent to Mars, with more frames, hence it is a smoother video. The original version can be found here: Curiosity's Descent.
Dropping in on Mars: A Rover's-Eye View
This movie from NASA's Curiosity rover shows all the "thumbnail" frames acquired by the Mars Descent Imager between the jettison of the heat shield and touchdown. The video, obtained on Aug. 5 PDT (Aug. 6 EDT), covers the last two and one-half minutes before touchdown in Gale Crater.

"Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-boggingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the street to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space." - The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams 1952 - 2001
