I just got back from the UBW premiere, it went like this:
Spoiler:
They showed Episode 0, which was a pretty faithful adaptation of the Rin prologue. It starts with her flashback of Tokiomi and there are fairly lengthy sequences of her getting ready and going to school, talking with Mitsuzuri, giving Shinji shit for being a dick.
There is a flashback to when she opens the suitcase Tokiomi left her, which contains both the pendant and the snake fossil catalyst for Gilgamesh. She seems to not realize its significance, though.
All the stuff about the clocks happens like normal and she melts a handful of gems into the summoning circle, blah blah blah. Faithful adaptation means the oodles of exposition, including Servants, Command Spells, and going to the park to talk about Reality Marbles. When Archer talks about how his contract with Rin is complete and she like examines it magically or whatever, it's the sex fish swimming around and leaving a double helix trail.
There's a short sequence of Gilgamesh chatting up Sakura in the street (the audience went wild), but I was the only one who cheered when Lancer showed up. The fight was pretty cool, started with Archer only using Kanshou until it breaks, then he calls up Bakuya. Lancer says his line about disarming Archer 27 times and all that, leaves to skewer Shirou. (Speaking of, we don't see Shirou's face all episode.)
The episode ends as Rin and Archer arrive at Shirou's place and Saber leaps over the wall to attack Archer. Roll credits, play new OP music, crowd shuffles out of the theatre.
Worth noting the soundtrack is pretty cool all around, and a few motifs from the F/Z are still threaded through it.
