Give it a chance. Trust me you'll love it. Way better than I expected, and I guarantee you your hands will sweat.
It's also not just a story about 2 people stuck in space. The story is deeper then that. And if you go and see the movie not seeing the "other" story you may want to watch it again.

I'd re-watch Kubrick's epic for the umpteenth time before watching Gravity again.

I liked 2001 but lets be honest. It's dull as dishwater and takes forever to get to the point. In the 1960's its visual effects were the best ever seen on screen (and I'm a huge Douglas Trumble Fan, and a huge Kubrick fan...)
Gravity isn't nearly as expansive as 2001 but it does reach new heights in visual effects, which is really hard to say in today's CG world. Plus... the seamlessness... the amazing camera moves... the lonnnngggg cuts... the soundlessness .... SPLOOGE!
Gotta see it again now..
Do this :
Turn up your speakers to 10, set your monitor to full screen, crank the rez up to 720 or 1080, and watch this clip.

GACK!
Oh and by the way it is completely, completely, totally, absolutely, worth paying $20 to see it in IMAX 3D. And I usually don't like 3D movies because they are sometimes blurry or dark or too 2D'ish... Gravity was made for this format.
