About
~ようと思わない is a combination of a volitional form verb, the と particle, and the negative form of 思う.
~ようと思わない is used to express that the speaker "has no desire to do X". It may be used for others, but is generally used for the speaker's own feelings.
E.g. そんなつまらないゲーム、やってみようとも思わないよ。 "I have no desire to play that boring game."
E.g. 行こうと思っていなかったけど、そんなに勧めるなら行ってみようかな。 "I wasn't planning on going, but if (you) recommend it that much, I guess I might try and go."
Both the は and も particles may be used following と to further emphasize 「思わない」.
E.g. 買って食べようとは思わないけど、貰ったら食べるよ。 "I wouldn't even think to buy and eat any myself, but if (someone) gives me some, I'll eat them."
