Ace Ventura : Lost in Time – Pet Detective Goes Prehistoric (and Hilariously Off the Rails)
Get ready to talk to the animals — again. In Ace Ventura 3: Lost in Time, everyone’s favorite pet detective is back, and this time, he's not just chasing missing animals… he's chasing them across the space-time continuum. In the wildest chapter yet, Ace Ventura, played once again by the rubber-faced legend Jim Carrey, is accidentally flung into a prehistoric past — and yes, it’s just as ridiculous as it sounds.
After a botched rescue mission involving a billionaire’s parrot, a quantum physicist, and a suspiciously angry sloth, Ace stumbles into a top-secret lab and presses exactly the wrong button. The result? A wormhole opens and drops him straight into the Jurassic era — surrounded by dinosaurs, primitive tribes, and a missing saber-toothed tiger that holds the key to returning home.
From the moment he lands — face-first in dino droppings — Ace is in classic form: loud, eccentric, and completely oblivious to the danger around him. But in typical Ventura fashion, he turns prehistoric chaos into comedy gold, forming alliances with clever raptors, mimicking cavemen rituals, and attempting to teach a T. rex yoga. Yes, really.
Along the way, Ace discovers that someone else has followed him through time — an evil exotic animal collector who’s trying to capture the last of every extinct species and bring them back to the present to sell to the highest bidder. It’s up to Ace, with his unique blend of absurd detective skills and animal empathy, to stop the villain, rescue the creatures, and make it back to the future — all while keeping his hair perfectly styled.
Jim Carrey returns to form with a performance full of wild expressions, manic energy, and classic one-liners. His improvisational genius breathes new life into the character while giving fans the nostalgic joy they've been waiting for. Directed by Peyton Reed (of Ant-Man fame), the film balances high-concept sci-fi with the slapstick tone the series is known for.
Ace Ventura 3: Lost in Time is pure comedic chaos wrapped in animal prints and time-travel tropes. It doesn’t aim for realism — it aims for laughs, absurdity, and big-hearted fun. And in that, it absolutely delivers.
All righty then... Jurassic style.
