I hate endings that aren't resolved by the characters. It's an incomplete story arc: nobody grew from the climax...they're just rescued by outside sources. Should have had Lotso vindicate himself by pushing the button & save the day or something. But no, they were just pulled out by the aliens for a cheap "The Claaaw" callback. Still a great movie...but the ending was just "meh".

The climax isn't the incinerator scene; the climax is when Bonnie looks into the box and sees Woody. It makes the viewer look at the previous few minutes of the film in a completely different light. Woody has accepted that Andy is growing up and needs to leave him behind, and after some reflection, Andy understands this as well.
The ending/climax of TS3 is PERFECT; it provides closure and shows that the characters have finally understood that they can't try to hold onto things that are already lost. If that's not a resolution, I don't know what is.
