I remember seeing this movie on TV a few years ago; it may have been a pilot for a series. It’s set in the future. An anti-aging serum was discovered, but some people had a gene that caused them to devolve into Neanderthals. The surivivors live in a domed city and have colored jewels in their chests. People are only allowed to mate if they have the same color. One of the characters is half-human, half-Neanderthal and has a black jewel. They sent teams into the desert to look for survivors. Can anybody help me figure out what movie this is? ---

Thank you for making me crazy for twenty minutes trying to dredge the name of this damn thing out of my memory, Google and IMDB. I remember the movie in great detail, everything except the name of the movie and the name of a single actor who appeared in it. That whole “can’t have sex with people outside your gem color” business pissed me off. What, these people have super-advanced science but have never figured out birth control? ---

It was a pilot that didn’t take off. It also had one cross mutent father, normal mother. I think that charater was the bailif on Night Court. ---

Forget the bailif comment. I can now picture the guy in my head and that wasn’t him. ---

Mutants = Trogs I think this is correct. ---
