Rihanna's "Sledgehammer" Video Arrives As A Sci-Fi Thriller

Earlier this week, Rihanna liberated her contribution to the third installment in the Star Trek reboot series, "Sledgehammer." Today, the sprawling ballad is visualized in an interstellar video treatment helmed by Floria Sigismondi, whose recent work includes twisted and subversive videos for David Bowie, Justin Timberlake, Bjork, The White Stripes and Katy Perry, amongst countless others. The video debuted last night as the first ever IMAX music video premiere and it finds Ri-Ri wielding more than just good looks, adorned with earth-shaking super powers on an unidentified planet. Watch Rihanna's new video below and catch Star Trek: Beyond in theaters on July 22nd. Grab a copy of her new album ANTI on iTunes today.
