I'm very skeptical of that part about the lander rocking wildly back and forthe throughout most of its rocket-propelled descent -- the Vikings and the lunar Surveyors didn't do that. I suspect that part was stuck in for dramatic effect. (Either that, or it was based on the assumption that Phoenix would still have a landing obstacle avoidance system, which it does not anymore.)
