If you've read one and past works of Urobuchi Gen - visual novel named "Saya no Uta" or "The Song of Saya", you can understand what this movie is about. It would also explain what happened at the end of the movie, which is similar to one of the endings of the Song of Saya's.

So we can say that this movie is an adaptation of that visual novel.

I would definitely describe this movie as a more intense A Little Mermaid.

No wonder why I feel it to be so similar. Most likely Urobutcher just provided the general idea and other writers did everything else. Compare with the masterpiece Saya no Uta, this Movie is nothing but a piece of crap

lol yeah i gotta agree

Friends are nothing more than the people who you spend the fun, yet meaningless times with. When those times get rough, they aren’t there to support you.

Not really, A Little Mermaid story is too obvious and superficial thing here, it only used for boosting Uta's development.

I don't think Saya no Uta is a masterpiece, but I agree with you.

Still there are many scenes that look very similar:

That tells me I'm better off avoiding this movie. I've long recognized Saya as an inferior version of the "Resurrection" arc from Phoenix.

It's mostly an original approach to approach to classic fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" written by Hans Christian Andersen. I'm not saying there weren't any other inspirations. I'm not familiar with "Saya no Uya" either. But I believe that the core theme of this story (not the worldbuilding, but story alone) was "The Little Mermaid".
