Reasons for this proper:
1- I've checked a few encodes from other trackers, done at ~6400 and they were terrible. Movie is very grainy, full of 1080p details and packed with action, it needed a decent bitrate.
2- Although I appreciate the efforts of TayTO with all the zones, I feel they were unnecessary; the zones were mostly done for very high action scenes, where details are barely noticeable. Sadly, they missed some more important zones prone to banding (I did zones for those segments, ofc). Check screenshots.

Given the mixed grain with non-grainy parts in many scenes, such scenes had blocking or banding, mainly in fades areas. So I applied debanding for the whole movie, just to be sure I don't miss anything containing blocking/banding. Some might not like that idea, but no worries, no details were lost, as the screenshots show. Besides, you can't lose details in the grainy parts, since they're impossible to have any blocking/banding to begin with.

For those who don't know what banding looks like, here's something that could help you see it better:
