Perhaps for the benefit of our members who are unable to, or do not wish to, watch the linked film, you could summarize for us.

Well, it is basically an animation on the latest Mars landing, from launch to the "bouncy capsule" that the rover was in. with some actual footage of Mission Control. This was a JPL production.
Ok I watched the video. It was cool.
It's unfortunate that there doesn't exist real footage of how it landed. This one was particularly complicated due to the rockets they used to reduce the landing speed- it was heavier than previous landings so they had to do this.
I worked on some space systems before and it's quite difficult and frustrating, because so much work goes into it, then it takes years to do the mission, and if one small thing breaks then the whole thing could fail.
