Before and during the film's release, members of environmental and political advocacy groups distributed pamphlets to moviegoers describing the possible effects of global warming. Although the film depicts effects of global warming predicted by scientists (such as rising sea levels, more destructive storms, and disruption of ocean currents and weather patterns), it depicts their occurrence more rapidly and severely than what is considered scientifically plausible; the theory that a superstorm could create rapid worldwide does not appear in the scientific literature. To choose a studio, writer Michael Wimer created an auction.

Some scientists criticized the film's scientific aspects. Paleoclimatologist and professor of earth and planetary science at said, 'On the one hand, I'm glad that there's a big-budget movie about something as critical as climate change. On the other, I'm concerned that people will see these over-the-top effects and think the whole thing is a joke. We are indeed experimenting with the Earth in a way that hasn't been done for millions of years. But you're not going to see another – at least not like that.' , a research meteorologist at the, expressed a similar sentiment: 'I'm heartened that there's a movie addressing real climate issues.

But as for the science of the movie, I'd give it a D minus or an F. And I'd be concerned if the movie was made to advance a political agenda.'

When paleoclimatologist William Hyde of was asked on if he would see the film, he answered that he would not unless someone offered him $100. Subscribers to the newsgroup took up the challenge and, despite Hyde's protests, raised the $100. Hyde's review on Google Groups criticized the film's depiction of weather which stopped at national borders; it was 'to climate science as is to surgery'. Stefan Rahmstorf of the, an expert on and its effect on climate, said after a talk with scriptwriter Jeffrey Nachmanoff at the film's preview: 'Clearly this is a disaster movie and not a scientific documentary, and the film makers have taken a lot of artistic license. But the film presents an opportunity to explain that some of the basic background is right: humans are indeed increasingly changing the climate and this is quite a dangerous experiment, including some risk of abrupt and unforeseen changes. Luckily it is extremely unlikely that we will see major ocean circulation changes in the next couple of decades (I’d be just as surprised as Jack Hall if they did occur); at least most scientists think this will only become a more serious risk towards the end of the century.
And the consequences would certainly not be as dramatic as the 'superstorm' depicted in the movie. Nevertheless, a major change in ocean circulation is a risk with serious and partly unpredictable consequences, which we should avoid. And even without events like ocean circulation changes, climate change is serious enough to demand decisive action.' Environmental activist and columnist called The Day After Tomorrow 'a great movie and lousy science'. In 2008, Movies listed The Day After Tomorrow as one of its top-10 scientifically inaccurate films. It was criticized for depicting phenomena as occurring over the course of hours, instead of decades or centuries.
