Yes, I saw it (on HBO Max) and enjoyed it, particularly the nonstop energy of the performances and the editing. I particularly enjoyed the performances of Sean Penn, Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Kevin Tighe, and especially Chase Infiniti (I predict she will be a big star).
I have not seen enough new films to call it the best film of the year. But the film this year that reached me in the deepest way was "Train Dreams", which I saw on Netflix. In a way it was the opposite of "Battle," being understated, usually quiet, and with subdued (but gorgeous) color. I can't recall any movie that has reached me as much as "Train Dreams" since I saw "Days of Heaven" in the theater.
