When Rihanna released "Sledgehammer" critics and fans were impressed with the way her voice seems to camouflage with any sound. In the "Sledgehammer" music video for Star Trek Beyond, Rihanna captivates us with her mesmerizing movement and look.
The film is set on a far away planet that seems to resemble what we would envision Mars to look like. Draped in a red outfit with tattoos running down the center of her face, Rihanna performs "Sledgehammer" with a series of short but captivating movements.
She completely channels the look of Star Trek Beyond and continues to ride her wave of success.
"Sledgehammer" is the first single from the Star Trek Beyond film and the music video takes full inspiration from it. The film has added significance after Anton Yelchin who plays Chekov, died in a freak accident at his home.
That star is being mourned by his cast members and there is no doubt that he will be in everyone's thoughts when the film hits theaters on July 22.
There is a ton of buzz surrounding the film which looks like it will be the best installment in the Star Trek film series to date.
