I think you’re missing the point. It wasn’t about the type of father he was.. rather the story was written as such to emphasize a longing for.. a connection.. that sometimes is missing when certain priorities in life outweigh what seemingly is already staring you in the face as the primary priority.. which the story’s premise does explore and their relationships are used to convey.

>Rather the movie sets up an impersonal and generic motivation like saving the world which lacks the emotional power of a father forced to leave his kids for their sake.

It sounds like your real complaint is that you're bored of end of the world movies.
