The story is personal on an intimate small scale, not impersonal action on a big epic scale.
That does not imply a lack of crowd scenes or extras.
Nor does it imply a lack of action or suspense.
It can be studio or not, but when I read a script like this, and I see how much crew is required to make it work, it is easy to conclude that this film is taking the wrong approach. If they need CGI to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge, they're not making I AM LEGEND. If they need shots from speeding helicopters showing the city overrun by mutants, they've taken it out of the mind of Neville.
Further than that, I don't like to insist too much.
It does no good anyhow.
