 Tell me one thing.

You say prologue is all from one location. Is it then an entire action sequence in real time that one can see in the movie when it releases July 2020? OR is there stitching / editing involved?

OR put it another way : Is it a special cut or simply a part of the film, like prologue of The Dark Knight and its sequel?
There is only one event taking place during the prologue so it's completely possible that this scene will play out like that in the final film. No extensive cross cutting or cutting to completely different places.
But I have absolutely no idea if it could be an opening scene or a scene towards the end of the movie. If I had to guess I would say it's the opening scene and we get some "calm" exposition after that.

 This sounds fucking amazing :o I'm curious about Jennifer Lame's editing.
Nothing very special to say here. Everything felt smooth and nothing out of place.
One odd thing I noticed was when the terrorists were storming the stage: One of the terrorists took a swing towards one of the musicians but right before the hit it cuts to something different. That was the only thing that didn't make sense to me.

I don't understand what this is, they played a TV spot in a theater to advertise a prologue that in itself is advertisement for the movie??

Footage looks badass, though.
It's the small reel that plays after the original prologue scene.

Is it related to Inception?
By watching the prologue I say 100% NO. I didn't catch most of the dialogue so IF there's an Inception reference in the prologue it's in the dialogue but I highly doubt it.
Praise the Lord!!

 What I'm curious about: does the prologue set up the main "concept" of the film? Do we get a hint of the main "ideas" behind the story, the same way the first scene of Inception introduces us to the world of dreams?
It's definitely not that full of exposition. Maybe I missed some huge exposition in the dialogue but I doubt it.
