π¦ βAll righty thenβ¦ but make it prehistoric!β
After decades of speculation, nostalgic memes, and fan campaigns, the legendary pet detective is officially back in “Ace Ventura 3: Lost in Time” β a wild, time-hopping adventure that brings the iconic character into a brand-new, hilariously chaotic setting. Buckle up, because Ace Ventura is no longer just chasing petsβ¦ he’s chasing history itself.
π΅οΈββοΈ Plot Overview
When an experimental time-travel device built by an eccentric tech billionaire (Evan Peters) goes haywire, it inadvertently pulls Ace Ventura (Jim Carrey) out of retirement β and into the ancient past. But he’s not alone. A mysterious syndicate from the future is capturing endangered animals across time for illegal trade, and Ace is the only man crazy enough to stop them.
From battling saber-toothed tigers in the Ice Age to riding dinosaurs through the Jurassic, and even crash-landing in a Victorian-era zoo, Aceβs mission spans multiple eras β with only his zany instincts, some classic one-liners, and a time-traveling parrot named Einstein to guide him.
π Whatβs New? Whatβs Classic?
-
Jim Carreyβs return (though unconfirmed officially) brings back the rubber-faced genius who defined slapstick comedy in the ’90s.
-
New cast members like Awkwafina inject modern energy, playing a quirky inventor trying to recalibrate the timeline.
-
The film blends sci-fi elements with classic Ace Ventura humor, including over-the-top facial expressions, animal impressions, and, of course, plenty of talking with his butt.
-
Expect references to the earlier films, including nods to Snowflake the dolphin, Ray Finkle, and even Ace Jr. from the 2009 spinoff.
π₯ Trailer Tease Highlights
-
Opens with Ace standing atop a woolly mammoth, screaming βI HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I AM, BUT THE AIR IS CRISP!β
-
Montage of time-travel chaos: Ace dancing with cavemen, mistaken for a prophet in ancient Egypt, and chasing velociraptors on roller skates.
-
A dramatic yet comical standoff with the villain (played by Ben Schwartz) who says, βYouβre out of time, Ventura.β Ace replies, βIβm never on time.β
π₯ Expectations & Legacy
This third entry walks the tightrope between honoring the absurd brilliance of the original films and adapting to a new generation of comedy lovers. Fans hope it marks a true return for Carrey, blending nostalgia with ambitious time-bending storytelling and all the chaotic animal-related antics audiences adore.
If successful, Ace Ventura 3 could be the start of an unexpected franchise revival β or at least a reminder of just how wild, weird, and wonderful 90s comedy really was.
